Good progress on reducing injuries and fatalities at work not matched by progress on work-related harm to health
12:07pm GMT, Wednesday, 27 October 2010
New figures released today confirm that Britain has the lowest rate of fatal occupational injuries in Europe and one of the lowest levels of work-related ill health.
Judith Hackitt, Chair of HSE said: “It is encouraging to see further reduction in the number of people being killed and seriously injured at work. We now need to ensure that the improvements which are being made continue. Every statistic represents an individual or a family which is now suffering as a result of health and safety failings at work.”
