I notice from the introduction that the lowest fatality rate since the establishment of the authority in 1989 was recorded in 2022. That is welcome. I also note the increase in injuries, which obviously needs much attention. One worker who died this year is a man named John Murphy. John died in June, two months after he sustained burn industries in a preventable industrial accident at one of the Stryker plants in Carrigtwohill.
