James Smith, co-CEO, of A-SAFE commented: Following this morning’s HSE Health and Safety at Work report release, the 2% uptick in reported fatalities and 8% in self-reported non-fatal injuries compared to last year’s numbers is deeply concerning.
There has now been a rise in both for three consecutive years. This clearly highlights the urgent need for improved safety in UK workplaces. Every life lost is a tragic reminder that more must be done to protect the workforce.
Workplace fatalities and life-changing injuries devastate families and put a significant strain on the UK healthcare system. Health and safety decision-makers must step up their efforts to guarantee that every worker returns home safely at the end of the day.
