Disabilities and OHS risks - no risk!

Su Mon Kyaw-Myint and others from the Office of the Australian Safety and Compensation Council (ASCC) undertook this research and have recently released their report entitled: Are people with disability at risk at work? : A review of the evidence.

This report indicates that workers with a disability are not an increased occupational health and safety risk. The research findings suggest that workers with a disability have on average, a lower number of OHS incidents and have lower workers’ compensation costs, in comparison to other employees.
