How to use the Road transport data dashboard

The Road transport dashboard brings together data on work-related fatalities and compensation claims. Use the dashboard to learn how workers involved in transporting freight or passengers by road have been injured or lost their lives at work. See whether trucks, cars, buses or other vehicle types were involved. The dashboard shows the circumstances, nature and bodily location of work-related injuries.

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, location (state or territory), or transport type (freight or passenger transport).
• 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 Road transport compares with other industries go to the Work-related fatalities dashboard or Workers' compensation dashboard. Visit the Safe Work Australia website for Road Transport 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.
