​Here are some pointers to stay safe on the roads as you plan your holidays:-
 
1.         Stay alert behind the wheel – It is important to prepare for your trip mentally and to get enough sleep before you embark on your big drive.   In Queensland, approximately 15% of road fatalities are caused by driver fatigue – it is staggering to think that these fatalities could have been avoided.   Map out your trip to include enough rest breaks and give yourself more time to get to your destination.  It helps your concentration tremendously to have regular breaks and stay hydrated!
 
2.         Make sure your car is safe to drive – It is very important to get your vehicle checked before you travel.  This includes checking the tyres, oil, electrics and making sure you have enough fuel to get to where you are going!  Make sure you are aware of the location of the next petrol station so you don’t get stuck.  It also might be worthwhile to have roadside assistance cover (I know it has saved me many times).

If you have been injured at work or as a result of work, you should seek medical advice from a doctor/treatment provider as soon as possible. Focussing on your recovery is extremely important, but it is also important to think about whether you can make a claim against your employer for workers’ compensation.
​
It is compulsory for all employers to have workers’ compensation insurance in place and most employers in Queensland have insurance cover through WorkCover Queensland.
