Did you know that workplace illnesses and injuries cost Britain a staggering £20.7 billion annually? That's a big price tag for businesses, encompassing direct expenses like compensation and medical bills and indirect costs such as absenteeism and decreased productivity. On average, employees take 17 days off due to work-related illnesses and 9 days off due to injuries. 🤕 This impacts the bottom line and raises serious concerns about employee well-being. To avoid costly fines (averaging £106,984 for health and safety violations last year) and legal disputes, it's crucial for businesses to prioritise workplace health and safety regulations.

The U.S. Department of Labor has released a proposed rule to protect millions of workers from the significant health risks of extreme heat. Under the proposed rule, employers would be required to identify heat hazards, develop emergency response plans related to heat illness, and train employees and supervisors on the signs and symptoms of such illnesses. They would also have to establish rest breaks, provide shade and water, and heat acclimatization for new workers. Penalties for heat-related violations in workplaces would also increase significantly. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gv58KFMd

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 - 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 This article discusses the extensive and often overlooked costs associated with workplace accidents. Highlighting the direct and indirect consequences of such incidents, including lost productivity, medical costs, legal fees, and damage to reputation. We reported that during 20/21 36.8 million working days lost due to work-related illness and workplace injury. The 22/23 statistics show that the number dropped to 35.2 million working days lost due to work-related illness and workplace injury. Unfortunately the estimated cost of injuries and ill health from current working conditions rose to £20.7 billion (2021/22) from £18.8 billion (2019/20). There is still much work to do to raise awareness of the importance of health and safety at work.

Something to ponder from the Health and Safety Executive Health and safety statistics 2023 Published on 22 November 2023, the latest statistics on work-related health and safety in Great Britain, including the following key annual figures (2022 to 2023): 1.8 million working people suffering from a work-related illness, of which 875,000 workers suffering work-related stress, depression or anxiety 473,000 workers suffering from a work-related musculoskeletal disorder 2,268 mesothelioma deaths due to past asbestos exposures (2021) 135 workers killed in work-related accidents 561,000 working people sustained an injury at work according to the Labour Force Survey 60,645 injuries to employees reported under RIDDOR 35.2 million working days lost due to work-related illness and workplace injury £20.7 billion estimated cost of injuries and ill health from current working conditions (2021 to 2022)

From Kathleen Rest, with Confined Space: "Earlier this month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics issued its latest report on private sector workplace injuries and illnesses for 2021 and 2022. And it wasn’t good news. Both injuries and illnesses were up in 2022: injuries were up 4.5% to 2.3 million cases and illnesses up 26.1% to a whopping 460,700 cases! The latter driven by – you guessed it – a 35.4 % rise in respiratory illnesses (356,000 cases in 2022). And if that isn’t dismal enough, we know that the actual numbers are likely higher. Workplace injuries and illnesses are reported by employers, and studies have shown that these injury and illness numbers are significantly under-reported. Based on research, the AFL-CIO reports that the true toll in the private sector alone is estimated to be two to three times greater. Also note that these statistics only cover the private sector. Public employees, who are not covered by OSHA in 23 states, are not included in this report."
