Fatal and major injuries at work dramatically reduced over past 40 years


The headline of the September 1974 edition of the British Safety Council’s then monthly publication, ‘Safety and Rescue’, read: “Work safety: A new era begins”. The evidence since then does indeed support this headline. The dramatic reduction in workplace injuries, and ill health, over the last 40 years is attributable to the creation  regulator, HSE, the duty placed on all employers to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all of their employees, and the active involvement of employers and trade unions. This important legacy of the 1974 Act is still going strong 40 years later.
