Assume thats related to the disproportionate % of males in the trades / farming? Perhaps compounded by age, seems 60+ bracket has a disproportionate number of fatalities. There isnt that many women over 60 in farming or construction (though unfortunately I knew personally one person in that bracket in 2018).
They have detailed stats [2], seems the injuries requiring more than 7 days off are a little different, with around a 30/60 female : male split.
