New HSA figures show almost 60 incidents were recorded nationally last year.
58 people died in work-related incidents in this country during 2025, according to Health and Safety Authority figures published today.
4 took place in the Midlands, with two in Offaly, and one each on Laois and Westmeath.
The national figure is a 61% increase on 2024.
The leading causes of deaths were being hit or crushed by falling objects, incidents with machinery or vehicles, and falling from a height.
CEO of the Health and Safety Authority, Mark Cullen, says one group who face significant risks at work are the self-employed:
