Safe Work Australia has launched an interactive data website for users to access national work health and safety (WHS) and workers’ compensation data. The website offers dashboards, data collections, and reports, allowing users to create charts and tables.
The aforesaid website, which was beta-tested in March 2023, collects, analyses, and publishes information on WHS and compensation arrangements.
With the launch of this website, Safe Work Australia aims to make national work health and safety data more accessible and quicker.
The data is crucial for a healthier, safer, and more productive workplace, with research showing that reducing work-related incidents could increase Australia’s economy by $28.6 billion annually and create 185,500 jobs.
