Did you know...
• In the UK, there are 1.6million occupational injuries every year as well
as 2.2million cases of ill health caused by work.
• Health and safety failures currently cost Britain’s employers up to
£6.5billion every year.
• There are around 2,000 cases of accidents involving chemicals at work
reported every year.
• Car and van drivers who cover 25,000miles a year as part of their job
have the same risk of being killed at work as coal miners. Work-related
driving is one of the biggest single causes of all reportable accidents.
• The maximum penalties for breaking health and safety legislation are
unlimited fines and up to two years in prison.
• The rate of fatal injuries in firms employing fewer than 50 employees
(small firms) is more than twice that in firms employing more than
1,000 people.
The Government’s Revitalising Health and Safety strategy statement,
launched in June 2000, set national targets for improving health and safety
performance.
