AustraliaA greyhound trainer in South Australia was injured in 2022 when struck by a 28-kilogram 'mechanical lure' during a race, resulting in fractures, broken teeth, and mouth lacerations requiring hospitalization and surgery. The SA Employment Tribunal initially ordered the trainer to repay $40,000 in compensation to Greyhound Racing SA (GRSA), citing inadequate risk assessments by the organization. However, upon appeal, the tribunal ruled that the compensation was improperly awarded because the trainer and Safework SA did not formally submit a compensation case under the Sentencing Act. The tribunal also reduced GRSA's fine from $255,000 to $180,000, acknowledging the organization's early guilty plea. The case highlights disputes over workplace safety and liability in greyhound racing.
