Workplace accidents in the Balearic Islands during peak season have decreased by 9.6 percent compared to July, August, and September of 2024. This was announced during Monday's meeting of the tripartite advisory committee of the Labor and Social Security Inspectorate, which includes representatives from the government, employers' associations, and unions. The meeting analyzed accident data for the busiest period in the Islands, namely July, August, and September. According to reports following the meeting, these three months saw a drop of more than 1,200 accidents. It has also been observed that in the cumulative period from January to September, there has been a 9.6% decrease in workplace accidents compared to the same period in 2024. This reduction consolidates a sustained downward trend that has been strengthening year after year since the reactivation of the labor market following the forced redundancy measures. In fact, the cumulative decrease since 2022 is 28%. This is a sustained trend, which confirms the effectiveness of preventive policies and the shared commitment between the Administration and the productive sector, the Government explained.

Formentera shows a slight increase in 2025, which is normal for a small labor market sensitive to occasional fluctuations. Regarding economic sectors, the data shows a general decrease in workplace accidents. In construction, accidents fell by 5.95%; in agriculture, by 8.20%; in industry, by 9.85%; and in services, by 9.97%. The data highlights that the services sector maintains its sustained downward trend, and the hospitality industry, one of the islands' economic drivers, closes the period with an 11.46% decrease.
