Education the key to reduce compensation claims within the hospitality industry
 
With injury and poisoning claims accounting for 85 percent of all compensation claims made by the hospitality industry, Pro-Visual Publishing has responded with a call for education through its Hospitality Industry Guide to Safety 2009.
 
In the last financial year the Australian Safety and Compensation Council reported
5,150 injury and poisoning claims made by the Accommodation, Cafes and
Restaurants industry.
 

We've spoken before about the pressing need to bring honour and passion back to the hospitality industry-something that needs to be a joint effort by industry bodies and workers. Well, here's some promising news.

Two upcoming industry events that should help the cause are the Chefs of Queensland Cultural Culinary Challenge in April (part of the Queensland Hospitality Industry Conference and Expo) and the recently launched Lexus Young Chef and Young Waiter awards.
