British health and safety measures up well - with more to do

The Health and Safety Commission (HSC) published a performance report in December 2006 detailing the wide range of work that it has overseen during the past year to reduce work-related fatalities, injuries and illness.

Measuring Up… Performance Report 2006 gives a summary of the activities, initiatives and campaigns carried out by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and Local Authorities that have contributed to Great Britain’s record of having the lowest fatal injury rate in Europe. The report, which can be found at here, estimates that over 5,000 lives have been saved since the 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act by health and safety improvements that have cut workplace accidents.
