Introduction
Getting hurt at work or becoming ill through work is not a pleasant subject to think about. The reality is that over 200 people a
year lose their lives at work in different countries. In addition, around 150 000 non-fatal injuries are reported each year, and an
estimated 2 million suffer from ill health caused or made worse by work.
The mistake is to believe that these things happen in highly unusual or exceptional circumstances that never occur in your
workplace. This is not the case. Some basic thinking and acting beforehand could usually have prevented these things from
happening.
Implementing health and safety measures doesn’t have to be expensive, time consuming or complicated. In fact, safer and more
efficient working practices can often save money but, more importantly, they can help to save lives. This booklet shows you the
kind of things which cause the more common accidents and harm to people’s health. It lets you see what applies to your work
activities, and tells you how you can get more help and information.
This is especially important if you are in charge of work activities, eg you are an employer, because you have legal responsibilities.
