N2  - The Work-related Traumatic Injury Fatalities (TIF) dataset provides the best estimate of the number of work-related fatalities that occur due to injury in Australia each year. Safe Work Australia compiles this dataset annually, with its statistics used to inform a number of reports regarding work health and safety within Australian workplaces including the Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy, 2012-2022. The TIF dataset is compiled from three sources of work-related fatality data; the National Coronial Information System (NCIS), the National Dataset for Compensation-based Statistics (NDS) and the Notifiable Fatalities Collection (NFC), which enables coverage of the entire Australian workforce.     The contribution that each data source makes to the overall estimate of traumatic workrelated fatalities is different, with almost all work-related fatalities identified in the NCIS and around half in the NDS and the NFC. However, notwithstanding some limitations, the TIF dataset provides the best estimate of work-related fatalities in Australia, provides a resource for researchers and enables the Australian Government and State and Territory regulators to make informed policy decisions to help to make Australian workplaces safer.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
