About this webinar
Every year, one in three workplace injuries strikes someone in their first twelve months on the job. New employees are navigating unfamiliar equipment, processes, and environments while their body and mind are still adapting to the demands of the role.
Most injuries happen before your prevention programs even have a chance to kick in. They respond to incidents rather than prevent them. This session will show you how to change that. We'll unpack the evidence behind first-year injury risk and give you practical, defensible tools to act
earlier - starting at recruitment and extending across the full employee lifecycle.
Join us as we cover
- Why new starters carry disproportionate injury risk, regardless of age or prior experience
- Why physical only screening isn’t enough – investing in physical and psychosocial screening reduces claims and supports smarter placement decisions
- How tenure-based injury data builds fairer, legally defensible hiring practices
Practical approaches to ongoing monitoring as roles and demands evolve
Organisations embedding screening into recruitment see up to a 409% reduction in first-year injuries and a $14 return for every $1 invested. This session shows you how to get there.
