Injury Statistics in Wales

Workplace injuries – Health and Safety Executive

By law, every fatal injury or injury requiring three or more days off work has to be reported to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in a system known at RIDDOR. HSE gets to know about virtually all workplace deaths but there is considerable underreporting of non-fatal injuries. Comparison with the 2002/3 Labour Force Survey in Great Britain estimates that 43% of reportable injuries are reported by employers but less than 5% for self-employed people.
