Great Britain Remains One of the Safest Places to Work | Libra Connect
Why workplace safety still matters
The latest figures published by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) show that 126 workers lost their lives in work-related incidents across Great Britain during 2025/26. While Great Britain continues to be recognised as one of the safest places in the world to work, every fatality is a reminder that workplace safety must remain a priority for every organisation.
Behind every statistic is a person, a family and colleagues whose lives have been changed forever. Every death is one too many, and lessons must continue to be learned to help prevent future incidents.
The HSE also reported that falls from height remained the leading cause of fatal workplace accidents, while the construction industry recorded the highest number of worker fatalities. These figures reinforce the importance of identifying hazards early, maintaining buildings correctly and ensuring workplaces remain safe for everyone who uses them.
