Marking International Workers Memorial Day on 28 April 2023, the Scottish Trades Union Congress and Scottish Hazards safety campaign published figures showing an almost doubling of annual workplace deaths in Scotland since 2019, from 11 to 21, and called for the urgent reform of corporate homicide legislation. They said the 2007 Act must be replaced with new statutory offences to hold companies and corporations to account for workplace deaths. Since the Act was introduced, more than 300 workers have died, but there have been no prosecutions recorded, they added.
