The national fatality, claims and cost datasets read properly, with reference years named and every figure cited to its source.
Data + statistics
A drill rig boom into a light vehicle at an underground intersection, a dozer and a haul truck reversing toward each other in the dark, and a brake-unit fire underground. The week ending 17 July, 38 reportable incidents, and for the fifth week running the thread is mobile plant moving where no one meant it to.
Data + statistics
A conveyor rubbing to burning embers, a tyre fitter with a fractured spine, and a loader work platform that crowded down on its own and threw two workers to hospital. The week ending 10 July, and the thread running through a month of editions: control of moving plant and loads.
Data + statistics
An excavator that fell off its own undercarriage, a 1.5-metre rock that missed a cabin, and a haul truck that met a dozer on a dump. The week ending 3 July in the country's highest-cadence incident ledger, and the near-miss loop working in public.
Data + statistics
Safe Work Australia's cost-of-injury accounting stopped at 2012-13. The live numbers a board paper should carry instead, every one dated and sourced, and the 22 per cent of claims that drive 75 per cent of the payments.
Data + statistics
The largest injury mechanism in every major occupation group, the four risk factors the manual tasks code actually names, and why the claims total is over half musculoskeletal. A weight limit is not one of them.
