The bar chart offers detailed information about the number of people who had died in injuries at work in New Zealand between dates 1992 and 2010.
Overall, the difference in total fatalities each year was not significant. The lowest number of deaths occurred in 2009 with 4,551 fatalities in total; this had been in contrast to 1994 which had the highest total at 6,632.
However there were no clear or significant trends as the total numbers mainly fluctueted across the 18 year period. There were two minimal peaks in the totals firstly in 1994 and then again 2006, where the number of deaths reached 5,840. Lowest points were in 2002 where the numbers dipped to 5,534 and then 2008 where they dropped to 5,214. They reduced further in 2009 but then rose slightly to finish at 4,690.
Overall numbers of fatalities fluctueted though there is a minimal increase in the final year. (157 words)
