As a matter of interest I went to the ROSPA website initially I was interested in accident figures pre and post RCD requirements unfortunatly the latest firgures are for 2002-2003 but makes interesting reading
the highest number of home accidents happen to the age group 15-64, 99 in total, but once you reach 65 it drops to 3, there was 163 in total for that year, there was 12 fatal and 124 major injuries in employed people and 3 and 10 in self employed, so the stats suggest start work at 65 and be self employed, I know statistics can be maniulated to prove just about any argument but I wonder what the firgures would be if I pusue this as to my original interest, Iam awaitng contact from rospa on this.
