In 2013, 16.0% of Canadians aged 15 to 74, or about 4.2 million people, sustained injuries in the previous 12 months that limited their normal activities. For 14.5% of those injured, their most serious injury took place while working at a job or business.
This fact sheet includes information on injuries that took place at work in 2013, by sex, type of injury, type of occupation, and by province or territory. It also examines whether those who were injured at work sought medical attention and whether or not they were still receiving follow-up care.
