Work-related accidents in Germany

Fewer accidents on the way to work compared to the previous year

per k FTEs

In 2024, the number of accidents on the way to work per 1,000 employees fell to 1.8 – a significant improvement compared to the previous year. This positive development could be due to a sharper focus on digital briefings. The briefing on traffic routes potentially increased employee awareness with respect to safety on the way to work and contributed to significantly reducing such accidents.

The digital briefings are advantageous in several ways: As they are easily accessible, employees can view the content at any time and from anywhere. This means employees can flexibly integrate such briefings into their daily working routine and ensures that all employees can be briefed regularly and within a short space of time.

These digital briefings also present the topics in an appealing and interactive manner. This improves interest and attention among the participants, meaning that the safety information provided is better remembered and internalized.

At 3.0, the number of work-related accidents per 1,000 employees remained at a low level.
