The main causes of injuries were:
- Falling through fragile roofs and roof lights
- Falling from ladders, scaffolds and other work places
- Being struck by excavators, lift trucks or dumpers
- Overturning vehicles
- Being crushed by collapsing structures
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 employers have a legal obligation to report certain accidents in the workplace and work-related ill health. Incidents are reported to a central Incident Contact Centre.
Information gathered centrally enables the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in conjunction with local authorities to identify where and how risks arise and to investigate serious accidents. Employers can then be given advice on how to reduce the risk injury, ill health and accidental loss.
Details are passed onto the Health and Safety department to investigate.
All accidents reported under the Reporting of Injuries, Disease and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1996 must be reported to the Incident Contact Centre.
