We all know it, but now we’ve got the numbers to prove it: Unionised workplaces are safer than non-unionised workplaces.
Australian Unions recently released the latest Work Shouldn’t Hurt (WSH) survey. The survey was completed by over a thousand workers from all over Australia and across jobs and industries.
The responses reveal the inner workings of just how safe our workplaces are and help to frame our conversations with governments and employers and develop campaigns to bring about the changes necessary to make work healthier and safer.
The report explores:
What impact Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) have on the safety workplaces
Which health concerns and injuries workers feel need to be better prioritised
How employers who focus on 'productivity' are putting their workers at risk
The harrowing realities of workers experiencing gendered violence and harassment at work
