Construction Health & Safety News, Advice and Information from PP Construction Safety

Latest release of HSE records of fatal injury reports for construction projects 

HSE publish each month the in-year details of all deaths at work under their jurisdiction including those occurring on construction projects.

This information is ‘as reported’ by third parties and does not purport to be a formal statistical release.

Our analysis of the HSE reports and press coverage suggest 0 deaths occurred during work on construction projects in May 2011. 

This is unusual but consistent with the overall pattern since only 2 fatalities were reported across all sectors during this month. There are normally some 15-20 deaths reported each month.

Comment

We use these details, in conjunction with press reports etc, to establish a picture of construction project deaths each month. Subsequent HSE investigation may determine that some are not reportable under RIDDOR.
