WHAT ACTIVITIES ARE YOU GOING TO ORGANISE FOR SAFE WORK AUSTRALIA WEEK 2009
Safe Work Australia has come up with four simple steps to make Safe Work Australia Week a successful one in your workplace.
Follow the four steps below:
Safe Work Australia Week Safety Education Pack. You can download these here.
Get involved! There are plenty of ways you can promote safety as part of Safe Work Australia Week, such as:
- holding workplace safety seminars
- safety training for staff and management
- holding a safety themed morning tea
- providing health assessments
- safety competitions
- review safety procedures
- create a safety suggestion box and give out prizes for the best suggestion of the week, or
- establish an OHS committee, to name just a few!
REMEMBER to….
Be creative – your only limit to how you can promote safety at work is your imagination.
Be inspired – see what other workplaces did last year.
Advertise and promote your activities to staff
