Males accounted for three-quarters of work-related injuries, according to Injury Statistics 2001/2002: Work-related Injuries, a new report released today by Statistics New Zealand. Seventy-four percent of work-related injuries happened to males, who had a much higher rate of injury than females. The incidence rate for females was 87 injuries per 1,000 full-time equivalent employees (FTEs), whereas for males it was 180 per 1,000.
