According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics - In 2005–06, occupation groups with the highest injury rates were Intermediate production and transport workers, Tradespersons, and Labourers. These three occupations accounted for more than 45% of all injured workers. Safe Work Australia has estimated the cost of work-related injuries as $57.5 billion dollars in 2005-06 (http://www.abs.gov.au)
The picture is not much better for "blue collar" professionals who suffer from mental and emotional workplace stress..."Stress-related presenteeism and absenteeism are costing the Australian economy $14.81 billion a year. Stress-related presenteeism and absenteeism are directly costing employers $10.11 billion a year."(http://www.medibank.com.au/Client/Documents/Pdfs/The-Cost-of-Workplace-Stress.pdf)
"But we already do OH&S at our Organisation..."
Well what about the 640,700 people in Australia who experienced a workplace injury during 2009-10, 82% of them had received formal OH&S training in their job prior to the injury... but they still sustained an injury whilst at work!
A work-related injury may involve a number of costs, including loss of income, medical expenses, and lost productivity. There may also be compensation for reduced quality of life or the treatment of a long-term injury or illness. In some cases, there may also be legal fees, investigative costs or fines and penalties.
