It is one part of the United Nations’ measure of social protection, and one of the plainest signs of whether work carries any formal protection at all.
This site holds one edition, Employment Injury Protection Coverage, 2024 compilation, read from ILO’s own data and stored exactly as published.

Precision
The headline is stored to 1 decimal, as published.
Rounded by this site
Never. Tables on screen may show fewer decimals; the files never do.
Changed by this site
Reshaped into one row per country: regional and income-group totals are left out, only the columns listed are kept, each row gets its ISO 3166 code, and some country names are brought to one spelling. No value is recalculated, rescaled or rounded.
The employment-injury part of SDG indicator 1.3.1, from the ILO’s World Social Protection Report, read from ILOSTAT directly. It comes from the same file as Social Protection Coverage, of which it is one component.
