New statistics show big improvements

Britain became a healthier and safer place to work last year, according to figures released today by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Statistics show there has been a significant reduction in the numbers of people killed, injured or suffering work related ill-health from April 2008 to March 2009.

Across England, Scotland and Wales, 29.3 million working days (equivalent to 1.24 days per worker) were lost to injury and ill health last year - compared with 33.9 million in 2007/08.
