Headline data

Source: Health and Safety Executive (HSE)

Geographical Area: Great Britain

Unit of Measurement: Rate per 100,000 workers

Footnote:

1. Estimates of fatal injuries for 2021/22 are provisional.

2. The rate of fatal injury for some of the detailed groupings are based on small numbers and are susceptible to considerable year-on-year variation.

3. Non-fatal injury estimates are based on the Labour Force Survey and are subject to sampling uncertainty. Details, in the form of 95% confidence intervals, can be found in the source data (see 'Sources' tab below).

4. The breakdowns of non-fatal injury rates by age, sex, country, English regions, industry sector and occupation are averaged over non-overlapping 3 year periods to enable a large enough sample size. For example, 2001/02 to 2003/04 figures are displayed at the mid-year point (2002/03). Estimates where numbers are too small to provide reliable estimates are not shown.

5.Data for 2019/20, 2020/21 and 2021/22 are impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the government’s response. This has contributed to a discontinuity in the injury rates series (marked by the dotted line in the chart above). This line indicates both a discontinuity between data for these years and earlier years, and a discontinuity in data between these 3 years themselves. See Other Information below for more details.
