In 2021, more than 640 000 accidents at work have been declared for employees of the general scheme and the agricultural scheme. 39,000 of them led to a declaration of permanent incapacity and 693 to one death.

In addition, every day in France, more than 100 employees are seriously injured and 2 die as a result of work.
