Fatal Accidents

Statistics have just been released by the Health and Safety Executive to show that the number of fatal workplace injuries is at its lowest since records began. The number of workplace deaths decreased nearly a quarter this year compared to last.

There has also been a significant reduction in the number of people injured at work.

It is gratifying to see that responsible employers are now taking health and safety seriously.

However, there are still far too many who totally disregard health and safety law which puts their workers at risk. More often than not it is the everyday things like lifting a heavy box or slipping on a wet floor which cause the most problems. These problems can be easily remedied by employers with a little thought which will spare their workers months or even years of pain and suffering.
