Brief description

The spreadsheet contains confirmed work-related fatalities by calendar year and month.

Breakdowns are provided by month and year, age and gender, industry, category and LGA. Details of each fatality are also provided.

[Access interactive visualisations of workplace fatalities data here.](https://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/workplace-fatalities)

Data reflects a snapshot point in time and is subject to revision due to claims development i.e. injuries incurred but that have not yet been reported. Therefore historical published fatality counts can change.

The way we report on lives lost in Victorian workplaces has changed. Previously, this reporting excluded some work-related deaths that were not attributable to duties or obligations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004, such as those caused by transport accidents or occupational diseases.

Now workers who die on the road, suicides attributable to work, industrial diseases such as silicosis, and workplace deaths resulting from a criminal act, are included.

We implemented this change for reporting for the 2020-21 financial year, commencing 1 July 2020.
