Statistics
This data is a snap shot from the live database held at the Incident Contact Centre, HSE’s point of contact for receiving workplace incident reports. Its purpose is to provide an early indication of the latest trends in accidents to employees reported under RIDDOR. The figures are unvalidated and relate to injury reports enforced by HSE’s Field Operations Directorate and local authorities (approximately 95% of the total). Only national figures are available and these do not include fatalities. Whilst trends in these series will closely match figures published in the annual statistics release there will be small revisions to individual numbers, particularly the latest quarter which will be revised upwards due to late reports. This series should not be used to measure progress against PSA or other targets. Judgement of performance against targets requires analysis from a number of sources including the Labour Force Survey.
