Accidents in the Workplace: Outline
It is estimated that 1.6 million accidents occur each year in the workplace with a cost to industry of around £700m. It is, therefore, important to identify the cause of accidents so that they can be prevented in future and to reduce injury, ill-health and costs to businesses.
In order to identify the cause of accidents it is good practice for businesses to investigate those that occur in the workplace so that preventative measures can be put in place to reduce the risk of them happening again.
