The number of work related fatal injuries in GB for 2025-26 across all industries was 126. With construction accounting for 25 deaths the sector remains the highest of all industries.

The trend is falling, as this number is down 10 from the previous year (2024-25). With the exception of the COVID years this is the lowest recorded number in a single year.

Of the 25 fatalities 93% were men, with workers aged 60+ accounting for a third of all fatalities, even though such workers made up only 12% of the workforce.

Falls from height remained the most common cause of a fatal accident, followed by struck by a moving vehicle and struck by a moving object.
