Introduction

Workplace Safety Statistics: Do you think your workplace is dangerous? If you work in high-risk areas like law enforcement, emergency services, or agriculture, you might. But accidents can happen in any job, from offices to construction sites. Falls cause injuries to millions of workers each year, whether they’re in retail, admin, or on a construction site. Workplace accidents are a problem for everyone.

They lead to medical and insurance costs, lost productivity, and lost wages. Plus, they can lower morale and engagement among employees. To tackle these issues, it’s important to understand Workplace Safety Statistics. Let’s look at some interesting numbers.

In 2022, falls from the same level accounted for around 18 percent of the total cost of disabling workforce injuries in the United States. The direct costs for this type of injury stood at some 10.52 billion U.S. dollars that year. This statistic displays the top 10 causes of the most disabling U.S. workplace injuries in terms of costs in 2022.

In the United States, there were far more occupational injury deaths among men than women. In 2023, there were 4,832 male occupational injury deaths in the United States, compared to 447 deaths among women.

The numbers reflect incidents that were reported to and tracked by the Ministry of Labour. They exclude death from natural causes, death of non- workers at a workplace, suicides, death as a result of a criminal act or traffic accident (unless the OHSA is also implicated) and death from occupational exposures that occurred in the past.

Data from the Ministry of Labour reflects Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Employment Standards (ES) information at a point in time and/or for specific reporting purposes. As a result, the information above may not align with other data sources.

Notes on critical injuries :

For the purposes of the data provided, a critical injury of a serious nature includes injuries that:

1. "Place life in jeopardy"
2. "Produce unconsciousness"
3. "Result in substantial loss of blood"
4. "Involve the fracture of a leg or arm but not a finger or toe"
5. "Involve the amputation of a leg, arm, hand or foot but not a finger or toe"
6. "Consist of burns to a major portion of the body"
7. "Cause the loss of sight

Only critical injury events reported to the ministry are included here. This represents data that was reported to the ministry and may not represent what actually occurred at the workplace. The critical injury numbers represent critical injuries reported to the ministry and not necessarily critical injuries as defined by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA). Non- workers who are critically injured may also be included in the ministry's data. Critical injuries data is presented by calendar year to be consistent with Workplace Safety and Insurance Board harmonized data;

Data is reported based on calendar year

Individual data for the Health Care program is available for Jan. 1 to Mar. 31, 2011 only. From April 2011 onwards Health Care data is included in the Industrial Health and Safety numbers.

Notes on Fatalities :

Only events reported to the ministry are included here. The ministry tracks and reports fatalities at workplaces covered by the OHSA. This excludes death from natural causes, death of non-workers at a workplace, suicides, death as a result of a criminal act or traffic accident (unless the OHSA is also implicated) and death from occupational exposures that occurred many years ago. Fatalities data is presented by calendar year to be consistent with Workplace Safety and Insurance Board harmonized data. Fatality data is reported by year of event.

Introduction

Workplace Injury Statistics: Businesses in different fields are constantly worried about workplace injuries. They greatly affect productivity, morale, and general business operations since they come with huge costs, including human life loss and other financial costs. In 2023, approximately 2.8 million cases of workplace injuries were reported in the United States.

This is an increase of about 2% from 2022, indicating continued struggles with upholding security at places of work. The construction and manufacturing industries were among those hit hardest by this calamity, making up nearly 45% of all reported injuries. These could be caused by machines or even human beings, resulting in nasty accidents that might lead to death. The most commonly reported injuries include burns, overexertion, or falls. These are considered unexpected events that cannot be avoided at times. Therefore, measures should be put in place to prevent such unfortunate occurrences.

This is especially worrying because these sectors contribute significantly to the economy and have millions of workers employed there. An elaborate analysis of workplace injury statistics from 2023 and 2024 is presented in this article, and clear data suitable for market research professionals is provided.

In 2023, the highest number of industrial accidents occurred in the manufacturing industry in Japan, at approximately 27.2 thousand cases. In total, around 135.4 thousand work accidents were reported in the country during the year.

In terms of cost, falls on the same level were the second most disabling workplace injury in the United States in 2022. The direct costs for this type of injury that year stood at some 10.52 billion U.S. dollars. This statistic displays the direct costs of the top 10 most disabling U.S. workplace injuries in 2022, in billion U.S. dollars.

Occupational Safety and Health Statistics

In 2023, the Workplace Safety Market reached a value of USD 15.03 billion, and it is projected to surge to USD 35.72 billion by 2030.

In 2023, the workplace fatal injury rate of the construction sector in Singapore was 3.4 fatal injuries per 100,000 employed persons. The rate has gone up as fewer workers in construction were employed in 2021.

In 2021, 3.26 out of 1,000 workers in the construction sector in the Philippines experienced an occupational injury, a rate that was slightly lower than in 2019. The incidence rate of occupational injuries in construction peaked in 2015.
