In 2023, the baseline for fatal accidents at work in the UK's seafood industry stood at less than 8 incidents. Forecasts project a gradual increase from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from 8 to 10 incidents. This indicates a slight upward trend in fatal accidents, with fluctuations stabilizing at 9 incidents between 2025 and 2027 before increasing again in 2028.

The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the 2024-2028 period suggests a minor annual increase in fatal work accidents.

Future trends to watch for:

Improvements in safety protocols could mitigate the forecasted rise.
Technological advancements in seafood processing might reduce human error and associated accidents.
Increased regulatory focus on workplace safety could impact accident rates.
