Work Shouldn't Hurt

Every worker has the right to a safe workplace. But every year hundreds of workers are killed at work, and many more workers are injured or harmed.

The Work Shouldn’t Hurt work health and safety survey exposed an underbelly of unsafe work practices that has led to unacceptable numbers of working people dying as a result of their work, being exposed to trauma, experiencing violence, or sustaining psychological/physical illnesses and injuries.

Three in five working people surveyed had experienced psychological illnesses or injuries such as stress, depression or anxiety at work.
