Such numbers are not very meaningful if you don’t have any context how these accidents happened imho. You also need to apply a much longer time frame if you want make any inferences. For example, one incident such as an explosion in a big factory could dramatically increase the number of a country’s fatal occupational injuries or deaths dramatically. It may also depend on the industries in a country (some industries bear a higher risk of deadly accidents than others).

In 2023, the year after the linked statistics, Malta’s fatal accidents went down 1.65, for example.

It would also be good to have a global comparison, not in the least because many European companies produce in factories in the Global South, but most governments in Asia, Africa, and South America don’t release any data, unfortunately.
