Industry Reference Groups 
Convened by WorkCover, the Industry Reference Groups (IRGs) were established in 1999 and consist of:
  • employer and worker representatives from industry
  • industry specialists with expertise in occupational health and safety, injury management and workers compensation
  • officers from WorkCover
  • representatives from the insurance industry.

The IRGs were established because employers and workers with first-hand knowledge of their workplaces are in a good position to identify emerging issues and develop effective strategies relevant to their particular industry.

IRGs consist of key industry stakeholders who work with government to develop strategies for improving workplace health and safety, injury management and workers compensation performance.

There are currently 13 IRGs operating in NSW.
