The Occupational Health and Safety Observatory (ISIG) released its April 2025 workplace fatalities report.

According to the report, at least 152 workers lost their lives; among them were 8 children, 4 women, and 7 migrants. This brings the total number of workers who have been killed in the first four months of the year to at least 611.

The report highlighted that workplace deaths occurred most frequently in the construction, agriculture, transportation, trade/office/education/film, and metal sectors. When broken down by sector, 49 workers died in industry, 37 in services, 35 in construction, and 31 in agriculture.

The most common causes of death include falls from height in construction (33% of deaths), traffic accidents in transportation (90%), crush injuries in agriculture (48%), and heart attacks or brain hemorrhages across all sectors. The groups most affected included undocumented workers, forest workers, and long-haul truck drivers.

The ISIG Observatory stressed the need for effective policies to ensure worker safety and prevent workplace deaths in light of these figures.

According to ISIG reports, at least 764 child workers have died in work-related incidents over the past 12 years. About one-third of these children were under the age of 15.
