Costs of poor health and safety at work

• HSE statistics reveal the human and financial cost of failing to address health and safety:
• More than 200 people are killed at work in the United Kingdom each year. This does not include work-related road deaths.
• In 2006, 30 million working days were lost in the UK to occupational ill health and injury, imposing an annual cost to society of 30bn (more than 3% of GDP).
• Surveys show that about two million people suffer from an illness that they believe to be caused or made worse by work.
• Many thousands of deaths each year can be attributed to occupational illnesses, including some cancers and respiratory diseases.
• Organisations can incur further costs such as uninsured losses and loss of reputation.
