Safe Work Australia has collaborated with CSIRO’s Data61 to produce Workplace Safety Futures report that explores the impact of emerging trends on WHS and workers’ compensation over the next 20 years.
The report highlights six megatrends:
- automated systems and robotics
- screen time, sedentary behaviour and chronic illness
- blurred boundaries between work and home
- the gig economy
- the aging workforce
- increasing workplace stress and mental health issues.
