HC Deb 15 May 1995 vol 260 cc75-6W
Mr. McCartney

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment for how many workplace accidental deaths in each of the past five years there were Health and Safety Executive or environmental health officer prosecutions. [23367]

Mr. Oppenheim

Except for the Health and Safety Executive offshore safety division, the information requested is either not available or available only at disproportionate cost:

Year (OSD) Prosecutions arising from workplace fatalities
1989–90 0
1990–91 3
1991–92 2
1992–93 2
1993–94 3
Total 10

those premises in which it has an active interest. It does not readily provide historical data, which could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

The average numbers of planned inspections completed by each of the HSE's operational divisions, for each of the financial years 1989–90 to 1993–94, are set out in the following table. The table also indicates the numbers of planned inspections that divisions expected to achieve in 1994–95.
