Proportion of operational firefighters who sustained injuries (988) Metric type
- Help text
- The number of operational (wholetime and retained duty system) firefighters who have sustained injuries as a percentage of total number of operational firefighters (headcount).
The number of individuals sustaining injuries during an activity. Multiple injuries to an individual sustained during a single event are counted as a single injury, e.g. a broken arm and leg = 1 injury. However, if a person was injured in more than one activity this is counted more than once. For example, if the same person was injured during three different operational activities, they will be counted three times.
A wholetime firefighter is a member of staff whose main employment is a firefighter regardless of their role.
Retained duty firefighters are personnel contracted to be available for agreed periods of time for fire-fighting purposes, but who could have an alternative full-time employment.
