About 60 per cent of fatal injuries to workers occurred in construction,
transport and storage, and in agriculture, forestry and fishing.
The most common kinds of accident involved with fatal injuries are: fal-
ling from a height; being struck by a moving vehicle; and being struck
by moving or falling objects. The make up about 75 per cent.
More than 25million working days are lost annually as a result of occu-
pational accidents, injuries and ill-health.
Around 6,000 cases of occupational burn injuries and around 2,000
cases of accidents involving chemicals at work are reported each year.
Only some 40 per cent of major occupational accidents are reported.
Accident reporting by self-employed people is even worse (estimated
reporting level of less than four per cent).
Seventy per cent of occupational accidents could be prevented if em-
ployers put proper safety control measures in place.
The Government’s Revitalising Health and Safety strategy statement,
launched in June 2000, set national targets for improving health and safety
performance.
