New Avetta Research Finds Connecting Risk Strategies Can Reduce Severe Injury Rates and Fatalities
Avetta Insights and Impact Report 2026 indicates integrated risk strategies have reduced severe injury rates by 74% in APAC organisations surveyed
Avetta®, the leader in intelligent work readiness across global supply chains, today released the Avetta Insights and Impact Report 2026. The report offers new analysis on how organisations across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region can improve safety outcomes across increasingly complex global operations. Chiefly, it shows how a strong risk management foundation, greater visibility into supply chains and strategically layering risk management capabilities can improve safety and operational performance, with a 74% improvement in serious injury rates across APAC.
According to Safe Work Australia, 188 workers lost their lives due to work-related injuries in 2024. There were also 146,700 serious workers’ compensation claims involving at least one week of working time lost in 2023-24, equivalent to more than 400 serious claims a day across Australia.
“Supply chains have become increasingly distributed and unpredictable, forcing organisations to navigate risk faster than ever before,” said Arshad Matin, CEO at Avetta. “Our 2026 report confirms that health and safety performance doesn't improve by simply adding individual programs in a vacuum. The organisations seeing the most dramatic results—and building safer, more resilient operations—are those that shift from a siloed approach to a connected, strategic system. They aren’t just managing compliance—they’re cultivating a state of readiness.”
