In 2013, unfortunately 191 workers were fatally injured at work. This is 16% lower than the 228 deaths recorded in 2012 and 39% lower than the highest number of worker deaths recorded in the series (311) in 2007. 

Although there has been a significant improvement in the number of workplace fatalities compared to the 2007 figures, this infographic serves to remind us to work towards fatality free workplaces in the future.
