Last year there were 43 reported fatal accidents, the lowest number reported since the establishment of the Authority in 1989. There was also a decrease in the number of non-fatal accidents reported.

The HSA carried out a record 18,451 inspections and investigations last year. The figure is revealed in the Authority's Annual Report 2009. In 78% of the workplaces with safety statements risk assessments had identified the appropriate controls, but in 48% of these cases inspectors had to intervene in relation to implementation.
