Work-related fatalities — how does your industry fare?
Safe Work Australia has published the latest Work-related Traumatic Injury Fatalities report, providing details on the number of people who have died in Australia from work-related injuries.
The report shows that in 2015, 195 workers died from injuries received at work. This continues the positive downward trend in the worker fatality rate, with 1.6 fatalities per 100,000 workers recorded in 2015 — the lowest rate since the report series began in 2003.
The report provides statistics about people who die each year at work, including fatalities resulting from injury and from being a bystander. In 2015, male workers accounted for 96% of Australian work-related fatalities, while almost 60% involved vehicles.
