About this report

Why we conducted this report

EcoOnline has previously conducted surveys in the Nordic region to assess workers attitudes and perceptions of health and safety in the workplace. The goal of these surveys was to identify key challenges and issues, as well as areas of opportunity on a diverse range of topics.

In order to expand on these insights, we worked with Origo Group to conduct research in North America (USA and Canada) and in the UK and Ireland. While the goal of understanding workers views on safety in the workplace remains unchanged, we also wanted to identify any regional differences.


Methodology

This current survey was conducted by Origo group from April to May 2025. The survey was carried out online using web panels, targeting workers 18-65 in the UK and Ireland. Overall, 1,038 responses were received from the UK and Ireland.

See below for a detailed breakdown of the demographics.
