The Stats show that in Britain between April 2010 and March 2011:

  • 24,726 major injuries were reported, such as amputations, fractures and burns. A rate of 99 injuries per 100,000 workers, compared with 26,268 in 2009/2010.
  • 90,653 other injuries serious enough to keep people off work for four or more days were reported, a rate of 363.1 injuries per 100,000 down from 96,427 the previous year.
  • An estimated 1.2 million people said that they were suffering from an illness caused or made worse by work, down from 1.3 million the year before.
  • 171 workers were killed at work up from 147 the previous year.

As the data confirms Britain still have the lowest number of fatal occupational injuries in Europe as well as one of the lowest levels of work-related ill health.
