We said
ONS does not collect data on non-fatal injuries and the Health and Safety Executive should be approached for information on occupational non-fatal injuries.
Information on the availability of deaths data by occupation can be obtained from the Health Inequalities Analysis Branch. Special extracts and tabulations of deaths data for England and Wales are available to order (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate). Such enquiries should be made to: healthineq@ons.gov.uk. We recommend that you contact the Health Analysis team directly in order to discuss your data requirements in more detail.
As this information is already available to you via this route ONS considers that S21(1) applies to this request and the information does not have to be supplied under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. S21(1) is an absolute exemption and no consideration of the public interest test needs to be applied.
