Vital statistics poster for 2023/24

Each November, HSE publishes a range of statistics which highlight the scale of key health and safety risks in the UK. These statistics are available as a printed, infographic poster which, when displayed in a workplace, serves as a reminder to workers about the consequences of poor health and safety in priority risk areas. Raise awareness and start a workplace conversation about the importance of managing risk well.

Key figures for Great Britain (2023/24):

• 1.7 million working people suffering from a work-related illness, of which:
  • 776,000 workers suffering work-related stress, depression or anxiety
