As it stands business A and B are in the same industry, business A has had no workplace injuries, business B has many, they both pay equal levies per employee performing the same function.
The benefit I can see is lower levies for those companies who maintain safe work environments, whether that is via training or other means. The less people injured the better imo, injuries cost the tax payer.

We need more neutral sources of information to get the true stories.
You can't really believe exactly what Labour says or National says.
Sometimes listening to some of the minor parties are better.
