Indicator 8.8.1: Number of fatality and lost time claims

Fatality is defined as a death resulting from a work-related incident (including disease) that has been accepted for compensation by a Board/Commission.

A lost time claim is an injury where a worker is compensated by a Board/Commission for a loss of wages following a work-related injury (or exposure to a noxious substance), or receives compensation for a permanent disability with or without any time lost in his or her employment (for example, if a worker is compensated for a loss of hearing resulting from excessive noise in the work place).

This is a proxy indicator. The UN Global indicator states: “Fatal and non-fatal occupational injuries per 100,000 workers, by sex and migrant status”.
