• Greater awareness and transparency -
social media and growth of digital power
• Higher values attached to brand reputation
by companies and public

based on US Industry Reporting
• Whilst industrial accident statistics in some
countries have fallen from earlier decades,
the curve has flattened. However, the
global picture is not uniform.
• The proportion of fatalities from Electrical
Accidents is high, reflecting the potentially
serious consequences.
“*Most accidents happen because workers have not
been adequately trained, are being poorly
supervised, or because the risks of the work have
not been properly assessed.”
*UK Health and Safety Executive

of accidents involve human factors

4. • Fines levied are increasing
• Regulatory bodies have increasing powers
to restrict or stop operations
• Individuals can held liable and there have
been cases of custodial sentences
• Growth in compensation culture and
support for individual legal claims with “No

5. • Human Cost – Life is Irreplaceable
• Impact on workforce morale and on wider
community
• Business disruption and reduced
productivity
• Potential for major losses due to fire –
increased insurance costs
• Reputational loss with customers,
employees and investors
• Enforcement – companies and responsible
individuals can face civil and criminal action
• Significant overall cost burden

Work-related ill-health and injury is
costing the European Union 3.3 % of its
GDP. That’s €476 billion every year
Source: European Agency for Safety and Health at Work 2017
Typical total Accident Costs
Fatal Injury $1.5M+
7 day absence injury $30k+
Typically, uninsured costs significantly
outweigh insured costs. It is estimated that the
average uninsured losses are about 10 times
more than the amount paid in insurance
premiums.
