Injuries at Work: The Real Score

21 August 2003

Take our quiz and help us build a real picture of injuries in NSW.

Thousands of workers are injured in NSW every year. Many will never fully recover. Workers Compensation statistics are used by governments and policy makers to decide how much attention should be given to workplace safety, but they are only the tip of the iceberg. Help us uncover the real picture in NSW workplaces and give health and safety the attention it deserves. Every worker has the right to go home safely at the end of their shift.
