How many and what proportion of deaths from contact with electricity via building and industrial cleaning activities were recorded by the Health and Safety Executive in the last 12 months for which information is available.

The Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR) places duties on employers, the self-employed and people in control of work premises (the Responsible Person) to report work-related fatalities, certain injuries, occupational diseases and specified dangerous occurrences (near misses). Reports are made via a dedicated RIDDOR submission form. An electrocution that occurred during window cleaning being carried out as a ‘work activity’ (as opposed to by the homeowner) would be reportable under RIDDOR as a work-related fatality. HSE collects information on deaths from contact with electricity in the category of ‘building and industrial cleaning activities’. However, it does not collect specific information relating to electrocutions caused by the use of water-fed poles in window cleaning.

What information her Department holds on the number of window cleaners electrocuted whilst using water-fed poles in each year for which records are available.

I refer the hon. Member to the previous reply PQ 5554

If she will make a comparative assessment of the impact of (a) industrial injury compensation for civilians and (b) military service compensation on (i) the awarding of benefits and (ii) tax treatment.

There are no plans to make such an assessment. The precise treatment of compensation payments depends on the details of the individual scheme (whether industrial, military or other) will depend on the benefit concerned. Tax treatment is a matter for HMRC not DWP.

Whether the Health and Safety Executive hold information on the number of electrocutions caused by the use of water-fed poles in window cleaning.
