things like

age
years at it
favorite tools
injuries
favorite joining techniques

etc

I'll answer your question with a question:

Have you ever taken a survey during which that data was collected?

I'll take a guess and say the answer is "no". I sure haven't and I'll
bet that very few woodworkers in this group have.

If no one is collecting the data, then no stats can be determined.

P.S. I doubt OSHA cares about favorite tools and favorite joining
techniques.
