WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY COSTS

In reply to the Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (25 June 2012).

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations): I can advise:

1. Both the department and I estimate a net benefit of $3.29 million per year to South Australian businesses. This is the combined effect of a net cost of $3.32 million per year, and a net benefit of $6.61 million per year.
