In the last year, 124 workers were killed in work-related incidents in Great Britain. This total of 124 worker deaths is lower than the previous year (138) but remains broadly in line with pre-pandemic levels.
The most common causes of fatal injuries are:
- falls from height (35),
- being struck by a moving object (18), and
- being trapped by something collapsing or overturning (17).
The construction (35) and agriculture, forestry and fishing (23) sectors continue to account for the greatest numbers of workers killed in fatal accidents each year.
The HSE view the fatal injury statistics in full provides a more detailed breakdown and analysis of the statistics.
