Incidents exposure, carcinogens, fatal

Nevertheless, the statistics presented in Table 4.5 must be interpreted with caution. As the evidence in Section 4.4.1 suggests, the comparatively low frequency of fatalities and low lost injury time in the UK and Sweden may be attributable to regulators in these two countries prioritising more readily identifiable effects of exposure to certain hazards (e.g., carcinogenicity or sensitisation) over less apparent effects (in terms of existing epidemiological studies or occupational health incident reports) that result from exposure to other hazards (e.g., reprotoxicity).
