New figures released by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reveal that 138 workers in Great Britain lost their lives due to work-related accidents in 2023/24. Of these tragic fatalities, a shocking 50 were caused by falls from height. This once again highlights the persistent risks faced by employees across a range of industries.
These numbers reflect real people, real consequences, and a continued need to improve workplace safety. The data also shows that many organisations are still using safety procedures that may be outdated or not fully suited to the risks their teams face. Taking a proactive approach to training and risk management can make a measurable difference in preventing future incidents.
The Importance of the Right Safety Training
While most companies understand the need for safety training, the data suggests a deeper issue: many organisations either aren’t providing the correct training or aren’t tailoring it to real-world hazards their employees face daily.
Simply ticking a compliance box isn’t enough.
- A generic training module may not prepare a worker for the complexities of their onsite risks.
- Safety briefings might be frequent, but if they’re outdated or not reinforced with hands-on learning, the risk remains.
- New starters might be inducted, but are they really equipped to work safely from day one?
