56 people killed in workplace accidents last year
The HSA yesterday published its annual report for 2015 and Statistic Summary for 2014-2015, and revealed that there was one workplace death more reported to the authority last year compared to 2014.
The report has shown that the number of inspections and investigations carried out by the HSA has fallen more than 40% since its peak in 2009, a decline its chairman has attributed to “resource issues”. Last year the HSA carried out 10,880 inspections and investigations, compared to the 18,451 it conducted in 2009.
