Statistics on workplace accidents are collected and published by the Health and Safety Authority.

The following table shows the number of workplace fatalities over the past 6 years both across all sectors and in the construction sector. However, statistics in regard to the age of people involved in workplace accidents were not recorded prior to 2003 and are therefore not available.
