Manufacturing

How to use the Manufacturing dashboard

The Manufacturing dashboard brings together data on work-related fatalities and compensation claims. Use the dashboard to learn about worker occupation and whether vehicles were involved in fatal incidents. Understand the circumstances (such as being hit by moving objects and body stressing which includes manual handling), nature and bodily location of work-related injuries (such as upper limb including hands). See detailed data for industry subdivisions.

To use the dashboard:

• Select 'Pages' to access the data.
• Apply filters to change the timeframe or claim type (from serious to other claims), or to filter by variables such as age group, sex or location (state or territory).
• Click inside the charts to cross filter other charts on the page (hold 'Ctrl' to select more than one bar).
• View the interactive dashboard help video or dashboard user guide.

To see how Manufacturing compares with other industries go to the Work-related fatalities dashboard or Workers' compensation dashboard. Visit the Safe Work Australia website for Mining WHS guidance.

Note: The dashboard provides counts, frequency rates, median cost and time lost data. There is a break in series for work-related injury frequency and incident rates from 2021-22. Learn more about the data on the Work-related fatalities data and Workers' compensation data pages.
