Note: Data up to 1972 are based on "the report on workers' death, injury and disease" which count accidents resulting in eight days or more absence. The data after 1973 are based on "workers' benefits data" which counts accidents resulting in four days or more.
Note: The number of fatal accidents are taken from Ministry of Labor's "Report on Fatal Accidents"

Note: "The Frequency Rate" refers to the number of casualties per one million total working hours. In other words, the number of casualties who suffered death, injury, or diseases from industrial accidents during the period of taking statistics, is divided by the total working hours of all workers who were exposed to the same risks. It can be calculated in the following formula.
Frequency Rate = Number of casualties 1,000,000 Total working hours of all workers
The all industries total does not include general contractors' construction work.

Note: Severity Rate refers to the number of labor days lost per 1,000 total working hours. In other words, lost labor days during the period statistics were taken ( multiplied by 1,000) is divided by total working hours of all workers who were also vulnerable to the same risks. It can be expressed in a formula below.
Severity Rate = Lost labor days 1,000 Total working hours
Number of lost days are calculated as below. (a) Death 7,500 days (b) Permanent disabilities will be calculated according to the following table
(c) In case of injuries with no permanent disability, the following formula will be used for calculation Labor days lost = Number of days absent from work 300 365

2.5 Trends of Number of Fatalities by Accident Type
persons
Notes: Among accident types,1) Accidents by cranes etc. include accidents by mobile cranes, derricks, elevators, lifts for construction works, light capacity lifts, etc.2) Accidents by motor vehicles refer to accidents caused by transportation vehicles such as trucks, micro buses, trains, steam engines, and motorcycles. It also includes accidents at project site by transportation vehicles such as dump trucks. (However, it excludes accidents caused by rail way equipment)3) Accidents by construction machine includes those by vehicle type construction machine such as bull dozers and
shovels ( for leveling of the ground, transportation, loading and excavation), by machines for foundation works such as pile driver, pile extractor, roller and other machines designated by Ministry of Labor, general construction machine such as railway equipment used at tunnel construction, or civil engineering machines, and belt conveyors, etc.4) Accidents by explosion and fire include carbon monoxide poisoning at the time of fire. (data prior to 1980 include oxygen deficiency and organic solvent poisoning)5) Accidents during handling and transportation include lifting and loading by man power and toppling.6) Other causes of accidents include drowning, acute heart failure, and tetanus

Heat StrokeHeat Stroke is a body temperature disorder and circulation disorder, occurring underextremely hot circumstances, and can be classified as follows according to thesymptoms.
Has the highest fatality rate among "heat strokes", and needsemergency treatment. In many cases, the patient suddenly fallsunconscious.Before the symptom shows, the patient may have had a headache,bad feeling, buzzing in the ears, feeling irritated, or vomiting ordiarrhea.These are attributable to central nerve system disorder caused by riseof body temperature or brain temperature.
Sun stroke
Heat cramp
Heat prostration
Heat exhaustion
Muscles of limbs or abdomen ache, and the patient has spasmodiccramp.Sometimes, cramp start while the worker is taking a bath after work, orwhile he is sleeping.By sweating a lot, the worker lost a lot of salt, and failure to supply saltresulted in above symptoms.
The worker feels lethargy, despondency, and dizziness.Sometimes he/she may get muddled and collapse.These are attributable to increase of heart beat over certain limit, dueto continuous exposure to heat.
At its early stage, the worker feels terribly thirsty, and experiencesurine decrease.Dizziness, abnormal sense of limbs, difficulty in walking are seen, andsometimes he/she may even faint.These are attributable to increased burden to heart and abnormalblood distribution caused by blood thickened by a lot of sweating.
