There are thousands of accidents in the workplace every year. Statistics from the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) for 2023-2024. Statistics show 138 workers were killed at work. 61,663 injuries were reported under Riddor. 33.7 million working days lost due to work-related ill health and non-fatal work place injury.
The HSE completed 248 criminal prosecution cases with a 92% conviction rate and 7,000 enforcement notices were issued by HSE and local authorities.
12,000 deaths each year estimated to be linked to past exposure at work.
An effective health and safety management system will help to reduce the risk of work-related ill health and injury. Failing to manage health and safety properly can be far more costly to you than getting it right in the first place.
