WHS Incident Reporting

Why WHS Coverage Matters
Back in November, we looked at "WHS Reports and also the Difficulty of Underreporting". Based upon study as well as analytical analysis, we learnt that roughly 31% of Australian workers do not always report events and also injuries. And that this non-conformance statistic is 6% greater than the worldwide standard.

We have a problem.

For an organisation of 300 individuals, this suggests approximately 284 cases is NOT being reported every year. If 5% of those WHS incident reporting failures led to a considerable injury, and just half of one percent (0.5%) caused fatality:

14( approx.) employees would certainly be wounded,
One worker would certainly be eliminated,
Significant production time would be shed,
Penalties and also boosted WorkSafe inspections would be most likely, and
A selection of business track record, insurance and also tendering facts would certainly be most likely.
The bottom line? WHS occurrence reporting matters!
