Three people were killed at work in Sussex last year, the Health and Safety Executive says in its annual report on fatal injuries.
Two people died in East Sussex in the 12 months to April, one more than the previous year, and one person died in West Sussex, unchanged from 2001/02.
Nineteen people were killed at work in the South-East, 15 fewer than the previous year.
Health and Safety Commission chairman Bill Challaghan said: "Worker fatalities are a blemish on a civilised society.
"They mark a failure of a basic human right to have our health and safety protected."
