HSC Performance Report 2006

Measuring Up… Performance Report 2006 gives a summary of the activities, initiatives and campaigns carried out by HSE and Local Authorities that have contributed to Great Britain’s record of having the lowest fatal injury rate in Europe.

As a society, we’ve come a long way since 1974 when the Health and Safety at Work Act was introduced and there are at least 5000 people who can vouch for this. For that’s the number of lives estimated to have been saved in British workplaces by improvements through the prevention of accidents. This takes account of changing patterns of employment towards lower-risk jobs such as in the service sector.
