The 2025 Employee Safety Report

Close the Workplace Safety Gap

More than eight in ten employees have faced a workplace emergency, yet over half don’t feel completely safe at work. Despite safety being a fundamental expectation, communication gaps, high stress levels, and lack of leadership support are leaving workers feeling unprotected.

Employees want more than just emergency plans—they need clear communication, psychological safety, and an active role in shaping workplace safety efforts. Closing this gap is critical to building trust, improving preparedness, and fostering a resilient workforce.
