In 2023, Europe recorded a total of 2.83 million non-fatal workplace accidents, representing a decrease of 5% compared to the 2.98 million reported in 2022. This decline includes 148,935 fewer incidents, reflecting a positive trend in workplace safety across the European Union.
However, the optimism is overshadowed by the figures for fatal accidents. In the same year, there were 3,298 fatal accidents, accounting for 0.1% of all workplace incidents. Although this number is slightly higher than the previous year, which recorded 12 fewer deaths, it shows a significant reduction compared to 2013, which had an additional 110 fatalities.
The information comes from the collection of data on workplace accidents, highlighting that over the past decade, the fatality rate has remained below two deaths per 100,000 workers—a target established since 2016. In 2023, the average rate was 1.63 fatalities per 100,000 employees, marking a slight decrease from 1.66 in 2022.
The compilation of this data is vital for workplace safety policies, allowing officials to identify areas for improvement and promote a safer working environment. While the reduction in the number of non-fatal accidents is celebrated, the fight against fatal accidents remains a priority that requires ongoing attention and collective effort.
These figures prompt reflection on the necessary measures to advance workplace safety, an aspect that impacts both the economy and the well-being of workers in the region.
