for all indicators. The total number of employee fatalities has remained at 38 for all three years. This is a coincidence as there is some variation in the figures reported by the Member States, as can be seen in Table 1 in Annex 1. Chart 4. Fatalities per victim type 2006-2008 Fatalities in percentage (2006-2008 data) Passengers 5 % Employees 3 % Level crossing users 29 % Unauthorised persons 57 % • Others 6 % Chart 5.

This can also be seen in Chart 6. For serious injuries, the reported numbers of injured passengers and unauthorised persons show large variations beyond what might be expected from natural fluctuation. The graph shows a rather large drop in the number of passenger injuries from 2006 to 2007. There is no single value that can explain this, a number of countries have reported a reduction in t he number of passen ger injuries that together account for the total reduction. The majority of the countries show variation in the reporting for 2006-2008 for all victim types. A better understanding of the trends and patterns will come when the 2009 data is reported. 18

The Member States use different ways of classifying the fatalities. The revised Annex 1 and its guidance will lead to a more harmonised approach to classifying suicides. 4 500 4 000 Chart 7.
