    IT is Australia's safest industry

    New ABS data suggests that 4,200 workers workers in the IT and Comms fields "experienced a work-related injury or illness" in FY 13/14.

    That's actually a very good result - 14% of people who work in manufacturing experienced an illness or injury.

    IT&T is, in fact, Australia's joint-safest industry with just 0.8% of workers in the field injured in the survey period. Only Real Estate services had the same illness/injury rate.

    Relax, then, dear readers, as you relax in your Aeron chairs and gaze upon ergonomically-placed monitors, Revel in your air-conditioning. And remember to bend your knees when picking up servers: 4,200 of you being injured at work is still too many.

    I think most of the work related injury is Repetitive Stress Syndrome (RSI) .. What else could probably explain that
