Thankfully the number of accidents at work has continued to decrease over the last 10 years due to improved safety regulations but The Health & Safety Executive statistics estimate that in 2018/19 a total of 669,355 workers still suffered an injury at work which in turn represents an estimated loss of 28.2 million working days.

Workplace accidents can happen for a number of reasons including:

  • a failure to properly organise and supervise the way in which the work is carried out
  • a failure to properly train workers and fellow workers
  • a failure to maintain machinery, plant or equipment used for work
  • the condition of the site or premises where the accident occurred

Employers have a duty to keep employees and others safe at work and must comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety Act and other specific safety regulations. In the unfortunate event of an accident at work causing death or a serious injury the employer must, in certain circumstances also report the accident to the Health & Safety Executive.
