As of 2023, the number of fatal accidents in the electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply industry in Germany stood at a certain point, and future forecasts indicate a gradual rise. From 2024 to 2028, the projected annual increase is steady but minor, reflecting a slight upward trend. The year-on-year variation shows consistent growth - for instance, from 2024 to 2025 and onwards, each year's increase is relatively modest, suggesting continued risks within the sector.
Over a longer period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) points to an average annual increase, signalling ongoing safety challenges in the industry.
Future Trends to Watch:
- Implementation of enhanced safety regulations and technologies to mitigate risk.
- Rising awareness and training programs aimed at reducing workplace hazards.
- Influence of automation and digitalization in potentially altering safety dynamics.
