PDFCompendium of workers' compensation statistics Australia 2007-08

19 March 2010While the Compendium is restricted to the analysis of accepted workers’ compensation claims, it nevertheless provides a good indicator of Australia’s Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) performance in 2007–08 and allows trends in OHS performance over time to be analysed. Data are presented by key variables such as industry, occupation, age and sex with supporting information on the circumstances surrounding work-related injury and disease occurrences. The data in this report were compiled according to the concepts and defi nitions set out in the National Data Set for Compensation-based Statistics (NDS).

This publication is the seventeenth in the annual Compendium series.
