Accident statistics dashboard

We have updated and verified the data in our accident statistics dashboard, following the Health and Safety Authority publishing their annual report for 2009.

You can access the dashboard here.

The Health and Safety Authority (HSA) published the 2009 annual report last week. The report is available here and the accompanying statistical report is available here.

2009 saw the lowest number of fatalities in the Irish workplaces since 1989. However there were a total of 43 work-related deaths, which could have been avoided. Once potential reason for the reduction in fatalities could be the reduction work activities throughout 2009, in particular for construction.

While the reduction in fatalities is to be commended, the challenge will be to maintain the initiatives going forward.

The interactive dashboard displays fatalities from 2002 to 2009. The statistics are distributed across NACE rev2 categories. Clicking these categories on the left of the dashboard allow you to drill down through the statistics and look at sectors in greater detail.

The dashboard is available here. Please contact if you have any queries in relation to this or other tools that we have developed.
