HSE Reports 1.9 Million Workers Affected by Work-Related Ill Health in 2024/25
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has published its latest annual statistics on work-related ill health and workplace injuries for 2024/25.
According to the report, an estimated 1.9 million workers suffered from work-related ill health during the year. This is broadly in line with recent years, though still higher than pre-pandemic levels recorded in 2018/19.
Mental health remains a key concern
Mental health conditions are still the primary driver of work-related ill health. In 2024/25, 964,000 workers reported stress, depression, or anxiety caused or worsened by work. This continues an upward trend seen over the past several years.
The impact of work-related ill health and injuries is also reflected in lost working time. An estimated 40.1 million working days were lost in 2024/25.
Fatal and non-fatal injuries
In 2024/25, there were 124 worker fatalities and an estimated 680,000 self-reported non-fatal injuries.
HSE Chief Executive Sarah Albon said the statistics “demonstrate that workplace health challenges persist, particularly around mental health.”
