9. Incentives

Goal: Improved incentives for genuine prevention efforts

As workplace health and safety performance appears to plateau, it is necessary to provide effective incentives to encourage Queensland workplaces to focus on prevention and safety management in order to reduce the significant cost of workplace injury and disease. Effective incentives will motivate behavioural change towards improved health and safety outcomes.
