A CAMPAIGN to highlight the dangers of workplace accidents has been launched.

And the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, provided the background for promotional photographs of a model dressed to look like a shattered porcelain doll.

They were taken to support the Shattered Lives campaign, run by the Health and Safety Executive, which regulates health and safety risks in the UK.

In Greenwich last year 330 people were injured or killed by slips or falls at work, costing the community £2,557,500.

Fifty people were also killed or seriously injured by a slip, trip or fall at work in the borough last year.
