European Fatal Accidents at Work in Public Administration and Defence Share by Country (Units (Accidents))

In 2023, Italy led with 31.39% of fatal accidents in public administration and defense across Europe. France and Spain followed with 12.69% and 12.02%, respectively. The United Kingdom and Germany, with substantial shares, showed growth exceeding 4%, notably 22.87% for Germany. Countries like Portugal and Hungary also displayed positive trends. Conversely, Romania (-10.59%), Poland (-24.21%), and other nations showed noticeable declines. Interestingly, Slovakia and Norway had significant reductions of 100%, impacting overall dynamics.

Looking ahead, firms should observe policies and practices in Italy, Germany, and France, as they maintain high shares and significant growth. A shift toward policy standardization and advanced safety measures could alter these trends, potentially equalizing the European approach to workplace safety in public administration and defense sectors.
