Reporting boundary

Keep injury and ill-health causes and every worker population separate. Preserve a source-reported combined cause without inferred splitting. Do not add totals to components, mix populations, or count fatal injury cases again in recordable-injury totals.

Cross-library identity

Library mappings and variants

These links compare quantity, population, boundary, period, unit, denominator, aggregation, dimensions, and method edition. Partial relationships are navigation aids only and never authorize observation reuse.

Unit meaning: This metric is reported as a structured table; each field carries the unit stated in the table fields below.

Table fields and units

  • Fatality count — people who died from the named work-related cause in the stated population and reporting period
  • Cause — injury or accident, ill health, or source-reported combined cause without inferred split
  • Worker population, incident or exposure site and date, death or recognition date, and recognition window
  • Commuting rule, former-worker status, privacy state, reporting period, source edition and assurance status

Published dimensions

  • Work-related injury or accident, ill health, or source-reported combined cause
  • Employee, controlled non-employee, own-workforce, or other on-site worker
  • Incident or exposure date, death or recognition date, and recognition window
  • Commuting inclusion, former-worker status, privacy state, and source profile
  • Site, reporting period, source edition, and assurance status

Populate the structured fields from qualifying source observations and retain each field-level unit, boundary, status, and method; do not collapse the disclosure into one calculated value.

Verified sources

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Use with context

Interpretation boundaries

Method disclosures required

Source-edition basis: Binding consolidated ESRS S1-14 and effective GRI 403: 2018 use distinct cause and worker-population profiles; adopted-pending ESRS remains compatibility context.

  • Name cause, worker population, source profile and edition, recognition window, reporting period and site.
  • Keep injury and ill-health causes and employee, controlled non-employee, own-workforce and other on-site populations separate.
  • Preserve source-reported combined causes without inferred splitting and identify mixed-population totals as non-comparable.
  • Include fatal injury cases once in any recordable-injury numerator and never add total rows to components.

Record-specific limitations

  • Work-related ill-health fatalities can have long latency and multi-employer exposure.
  • National causation and recognition windows vary.
  • Privacy, under-recognition and differing source populations affect completeness and comparability.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
