BACKGROUND: There is no comprehensive study of the costs of horse-related
workplace injuries to Australian Thoroughbred racing jockeys. OBJECTIVES: To
analyse the characteristics of insurance payments and horse-related workplace
injuries to Australian jockeys during Thoroughbred racing or training. METHODS:
Insurance payments to Australian jockeys and apprentice jockeys as a result of
claims for injury were reviewed. The cause and nature of injuries, and the
breakdown of payments associated with claims were described. RESULTS: The
incidence of claims was 2.1/1000 race rides, with an average cost of AUD 9
million/year. Race-day incidents were associated with 39% of claims, but 52% of
the total cost. The mean cost of race-day incidents (AUD 33,756) was higher than
non-race day incidents (AUD 20,338). Weekly benefits and medical expenses made up
the majority of costs of claims. Fractures were the most common injury (29.5%),
but head injuries resulting from a fall from a horse had the highest mean
cost/claim (AUD 127,127). CONCLUSIONS: Costs of workplace injuries to the
Australian Thoroughbred racing industry have been greatly underestimated because
the focus has historically been on incidents that occur on race-days. These
findings add to the evidence base for developing strategies to reduce injuries
and their associated costs.
