Hi All,

Looking for some advice,

I believe that HSE currently view life at £1 Million, can anyone advise as to where I may find this info?

In addition to this I would be interested in knowing if there is anything similar should someone loose a limb or suffer some other loss in the event of an incident.

Thanks in advance

Try R2P2 which gives a value of preventing a fatality of £1 mill. I think you'd have to be pretty careful how this figure is used because its for Joe Average statistical person and doesn't inlcude cost of compensation etc. I believe the US use a VPF of $6 mill.
