Industrial Accidents Hit Record Levels Worldwide - Accidents in the workplace have gone up over the last five years, a survey by EnviroSafetyProducts reveals. The survey took into account trends over the last five years to find a dramatic increase in the number of reported accidents. In light of increasing legislation in the area, this is a concerning issue for employers and health commentators alike.
The news comes as a concern to industry insiders, although several theories have been presented to justify this increase. Scott Newton of EnviroSafetyProducts suggests that heightened awareness of legislation and compensation claims have caused this figure.
