Harrow Council is currently reviewing an 8% rise in employee health and safety incidents reported in the 2025-26 financial year.
Harrow Council recorded an 8% increase in health and safety incidents in the 2025-26 financial year, with 524 incidents reported compared to 485 the previous year. A report in July 2026 noted that 'Accident (Injury)' and 'Violent or Aggressive/Threatening Behaviour incidents' were the most frequent categories. The council's annual health and safety report suggested this rise might indicate improved reporting practices and greater staff awareness.
The Employee Health & Wellbeing Strategy aims to improve employee health and wellbeing at Harrow Council. The Strategic Director for Corporate Resources and Innovation, Richard Brooks, commented in July 2026 that it is difficult to interpret whether the increase in incidents represents an underlying rise or better reporting.
