2012 RDO's
Construction workers are some of the hardest working in Australia. Our industry is also one of the most dangerous, with on average, one building worker being killed every week.
That's why our RDO's are important. It's a good chance to take a much needed break.

Facts
- Every 2-3 minutes someone in Australia is injured seriously enough to lodge a workers compensation claim.
- There are almost 690,000 work-related incidents - including diseases, injuries and fatalities - each year. In 2007-08, there were 150 notified work-related fatalities. In construction alone, there were 41 fatalities, according to CFMEU figures. Official figures underestimate the true scale of the problem.
- The Australian Safety and Compensation Council stated in its March 2009 report that: "Studies estimate that as many as 7000 fatalities may occur each year as a result of work-related disease." This is four times the annual national road toll.
- The total economic cost of work-related injuries and illnesses for the 2005-06 financial year was $57.6 billion which was 5.9% of GDP.
- Construction is one of Australia's top three most dangerous injuries.
