overview

Workplace fatalities in Australia are on the rise. Statistics released by Safe Work Australia revealed 194 fatalities have occurred in 2020 compared to 162 in 2019 with NSW accounted for the highest number of worker fatalities at 53.

In recent years, industrial manslaughter laws have been introduced to help prevent and reduce workplace deaths occurring at worksites. Maximum penalties for industrial manslaughter vary between Australian states which include heavy fines and imprisonment for corporate bodies and individuals.

The Industrial Manslaughter Conference, taking place on 31 May 2022 at the Hilton Sydney, will bring together legal professionals, regulators, and industry leaders to provide key insights including the following key topics:

  • Recent developments and case laws across Australian jurisdictions
  • Legal duties and obligations under WHS laws
  • What constitutes gross negligence and reckless conduct?
  • Tools and methodologies to demonstrate due diligence
