  "term": "Event or exposure",
  "field": "Economic statistics",
  "definition": "Occurrence that leads to occupational injury or illness.\n\nNote: The event or exposure describes what happened to cause an injury or illness - for example, overexertion while lifting an object or a fall from a ladder. This categorization differs from the nature of the incident, which describes the result of the incident, such as a torn muscle (from overexertion) or a broken ankle (caused by, say, a fall from a ladder). The categorization also differs from the source, or what contributed to the injury or illness - for example, a heavy object (what is lifted) or the floor (after a fall).",
