Mining and agriculture are two of the most high-risk industries in Australia. The mining industry has the third highest fatality rate of any industry, while the nature of agriculture, which often involves working very long hours can also lead to frequent safety incidents.
The good news is that with a continued emphasis on safety, these issues are improving. In the 12 years leading up to 2015, the mining industry’s fatality rate dropped by 65%, from 12.4 worker fatalities per 100,000 workers in 2003 to 4.4 in 2015.*
Improvements are possible as technology advances. Employers can reduce the risk of accidents further by using platforms like Altora to log incident reports and by conducting thorough and regular online training for employees and contractors in these high-risk industries.
