One port operator s safety department examined the accident statistics for the past six years for two major commercial ports. In that time, the two ports had had 4 reportable construction accidents and since then have spent around 100 million in capital expenditure. Two of these accidents occurred in the marine environment but were not the result of a marine-related risk, i.e. they could just as easily have occurred on land. However, the port s accident data may mask the true picture, as they would not record the contractor s accident data, as contractors are separately responsible for submitting the RIDDOR forms to HSE.
