This industry-specific report, curated by Safe Work Australia utilising both the National Dataset for Compensation-based Statistics and ABS Census data to provide accurate insights, is now available.
This new WHS profile offers a comprehensive perspective on the primary dangers that employees operating in these areas generally face in their everyday tasks.

You can access the updated profile directly from the ‘Our Data. Your Stories’ webpage to glean more about the importance and utility of utilising workplace health and safety systems and policies effectively in your industry.
