Male employees, however, were still 1.3 times more likely than female employees to have a serious claim (6.2 serious claims per million hours worked compared with 4.9 serious claims per million hours worked). A higher percentage of male employees’ serious claims arose from injury and musculoskeletal disorders (91 per cent compared with 87 per cent for female employees), while a higher percentage of female employees’ serious claims arose from diseases (13 per cent compared with 9 per cent for male employees).
