The high number of injuries occurring during installation, maintenance and repair of machinery and equipment is a concern to WorkSafe – as it should be for you.
Employees involved in such work make up about 25 per cent of workers in the manufacturing. However, they account for nearly 60 per cent of machinery and equipment-related workplace injury claims.
We need to reduce this toll. And we want you to help us.
WorkSafe is holding a free workshop on July 6 from 8.30am-3pm. This is an opportunity to have your say and influence our approach to the issue.
