HC Deb 31 March 1994 vol 240 cc925-6W
Mr. Barron

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many major injuries were reported to the HSE in each region in each year since 1983 in(a) agriculture, forestry and fisheries, (b) energy and water supply, (c) manufacturing, (d) construction and (e) the service sectors; and how many of these were injuries of (i) employees, (ii) the self-employed and (iii) members of the public.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

Figures for the financial years 1986–87 to 1992–93 are provided in the tables which have been placed in the Library. Due to changes in reporting legislation, major injuries reported for the years 1983 to 1985 are not directly comparable with those for later years. In addition, the 1983 and 1984 injuries were assigned to an earlier industrial classification and aggregation on a regional basis into the sectors specified is not possible except at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Barron

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many minor injuries involving three or more days off work were reported to the Health and Safety Executive in each region in each year since 1983 in(a) agriculture, forestry and fisheries, (b) energy and water supply, (c) manufacturing, (d) construction and (e) the service sector; and how many of these were injuries of (i) employees and (ii) the self-employed.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

Figures for the financial years 1986–87 to 1992–93 are provided in the tables which have been placed in the Library. There was no requirement to notify the Health and Safety Executive of injuries causing incapacity for normal work for more than three days during the years 1983 to 1985.
