Workplace safety remains a critical concern for governments, regulators, and insurers across the globe. Whilst acknowledging that a strictly like-for-like comparison is complex, this report presents a comparative analysis of fatal workplace accident claims across the United Kingdom, Spain, the United States, Mexico, and Australia.

Drawing on the most recent data available from each jurisdiction, the report examines the frequency and nature of workplace fatalities, highlighting common causes such as falls from height and vehicle incidents, as well as the sectors most affected - including construction, agriculture, and transportation.

In addition to identifying these cross-jurisdictional trends, the report explores how national regulatory and compensation frameworks influence claims handling and insurance practice. Though not exhaustive, it provides a valuable overview of the similarities and distinctions in how these five countries approach workplace safety, offering insight into the challenges and progress made in reducing fatal accidents worldwide.
