UGT C-LM denuncia un incremento del 38,46% de las muertes en el trabajo en la región en los 8 primeros meses de 2026

The rise in fatal occupational accidents in the region reflects a critical urgency in occupational safety. UGT reports that work-related fatalities have increased significantly, even as non-fatal accidents have seen a slight decline, emphasizing that these deaths are preventable and constitute an unacceptable reality. This trend contrasts with the overall decrease in incidents, highlighting structural failures in the effective protection of workers. The union coordinator demands robust measures, such as updating regulations to address modern risks and implementing stricter oversight. It advocates for extending preventive culture and establishing specialized territorial delegates, which are essential for the small businesses that predominate in the region. Additionally, it calls for more resources for the Labor Inspection, enabling unannounced visits without the need for prior complaints, thereby ensuring proactive and deterrent supervision. This report is relevant to open data because it underscores the need for transparency in the management of occupational risks. The availability and analysis of accurate statistics allow for the identification of high-risk areas and the evaluation of the effectiveness of public policies. Without open and accessible data, it is impossible to hold parties accountable or design evidence-based strategies, perpetuating the opacity that conceals the true extent of failures in prevention.
