Worksafe Week

October 22, 2007

21 – 27 October 2007 is WorkSafe Week. Has business growth caused your business to outgrow its existing occupational health and safety plan?

Every year in Queensland…

More than 85 000 people suffer a workplace injury or illness
Workplace injuries or illness cost Queensland more than $4.7 billion
Around 100 people are killed as a result of workplace accident or disease

In the next year …

One in ever 24 workers will suffer some form of work related injury or disease
Someone will be seriously injured enough or a workers compensation claim to be lodged and accepted every 7 minutes

Slips, trips and falls…

Cost Queensland businesses more than 256 000 lost work days and more than $60 million

Says the department of Employment and Industrial Relations

Take time out during WorkSafe Week to assess whether your current Occupational Health and Safety Policy adequately covers the needs of your business and remember to review workplace health and safety strategies with your employees.
