Putting safety in the spotlight.
A message from the Chair of Safe Work Australia for Safe Work Australia Week 2011.
The 2011 National Safe Work Australia Week was bigger and better than ever! Thousands of workplaces participated in Safe Work Australia Week in 2011 by:
- becoming Safe Work Australia Week Safety Ambassadors
- taking part in Take 10@10
- planning their own activities and events
- participating in activities and events organised by the work health and safety authority in their state or territory.
Safety Ambassadors
One of the best ways to get involved in Safe Work Australia Week is by becoming a Safe Work Australia Week Safety Ambassador.
Safety Ambassadors are working Australians who have a passion for health and safety and are dedicated to making workplaces safer. In previous years Safety Ambassadors have included Ministers, CEOs, health and safety representatives, managers and employees from a wide range of industries.
The role of a Safety Ambassador is to promote the importance of safer workplaces, primarily during Safe Work Australia Week. They set safety examples, drive safety messages and continually emphasise everyone’s right to return home safely from a day’s work.
