HC Deb 28 July 1983 vol 46 c577W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many construction workers died in fatal accidents in 1979, 1980, 1981 and 1982.

Mr. Gummer

The information is as follows:

Fatalities to Workers in the Construction Industry 1979–82 Great Britain
1979 1980 1981 1982
Employees 128 134 105 102
*Self-employed 19 31 17 17
* Before 1981, fatalities to the self-employed were reported on a voluntary basis only. They are therefore not directly comparable with figures for 1981 and 1982 which are based on reports resulting from a specific requirement under the Notification of Accidents and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1980.
