Footnote 10

New types of injuries were included in reporting in 2021. New categories are: Injuries with lost time but no medical treatment, injuries that resulted in restricted work or transfer to another job and significant injuries diagnosed by a physician or other licensed healthcare professional. Besides the total recordable work-related injuries, high-consequence injuries were reported. These are injuries where the worker cannot or is not expected to recover fully to pre-injury health status within 6 months. If expectation of recovery change, the high-consequence injury (HCI) is to be restated. If high-consequence injury is confirmed after year-end (within 6 months), the high-consequence injury is reported in year 2. One HCI reported for 2023 was reported as a recordable injury in 2022. Fatalities are excluded from our calculation of high-consequence work-related injuries
