Safe Work Australia is trailing a new interactive data website with the launch of a beta version to gather feedback.
Calling for input, Safe Work said the new website delivered national work health and safety and workers’ compensation data in an intuitive, user-friendly way.
“Releasing a beta or prototype of the website allows us to test and improve the website before an official launch in the coming months when a wider set of data will be made available and other site improvements actioned,” Safe Work said.
“Explore data collected by Safe Work Australia on work-related fatalities, injuries and illnesses,” it said.
“Using PowerBI dashboards, users can create their own tables, discover graphs and charts that allow sorting data by industry, occupation, year, mechanism of injury and more.”
Safe Work said the beta site included two interactive industry snapshots (agriculture and road transport), and interactive datasets on work-related fatalities, workers’ compensation, and prosecutions.
It said the published reports on the Safe Work Australia website were the official data sources for Work Health and Safety and workers’ compensation information.
“We are testing a beta data website which may show minor differences to the published reports as we make improvements to data collection and methods,” it said.
