REVEALED: The worst places in the UK for health and safety

Risk is a part of life – but it’s something you certainly want to minimize when it comes to your workforce.

Moorepay have analysed data from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to create a health and safety business risk rating for each area in Great Britain, to work out the safest place for you and your employees.

The firm created a risk score out of 100 for each area, where a higher score means a riskier area. Against a national average of 49, Wales scored 72 and had five out of the 10 most dangerous areas in Great Britain – the most dangerous of which was Blaenau Gwent in South Wales with a score of 95.

London came lowest with a score of 26, and also held nine in 10 of the least risky areas – the City of London was the least dangerous, with a score of 7.
