This session was delivered at the NEBOSH Conference Glasgow in November 2025. The presentation by a representative from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) provided a comprehensive overview of accident prevention in the UK, revealing alarming statistics that 21,000 people die needlessly from accidents each year, with accident rates rising by 42% since 2013, particularly in home and leisure settings.
The speaker advocated for a national accident prevention strategy, calling for a dedicated government minister to oversee accident prevention, highlighting the economic impact of £12 billion annually and emphasising that these accidents are preventable through better coordination, awareness, and targeted interventions.
