| HSE's annual data release covers the period from April 2024 to March 2025. The total of 124 worker deaths is lower than the previous year (138) but remains broadly in line with pre-pandemic levels. The most common causes of fatal injuries are falls from height (35), being struck by a moving object (18), and being trapped by something collapsing or overturning (17). HSE has also published the annual figures for Mesothelioma, a cancer caused by past exposure to asbestos. 2,218 people died from the disease in 2023. |
