On its 50th birthday we might ask how successful has the Health & Safety at Work Act been?
well in 1969 there were 323,000 workplace deaths & injuries.... top from 168,000 ten years earlier.
In 1974, the there were 2.9 fatal injuries per 100,000 workers; by 2023-24, it was down to 0.42 per 1000 representing 138 work-related deaths.
Now that looks like success.... not Health & Safety gone mad, but workers & their families saved from tragedies!
