October is National Safe Work Month, a time for employers and workers across Australia to commit to creating safe and healthy workplaces. This year’s campaign theme, safety: every job, every day, encourages all workplaces – regardless of occupation, industry, location, and size – to prioritise safety every day. Practicing safety: every job, every day means we can reduce the rate of fatalities, serious injuries and illnesses in our workplaces, and ensure that everyone gets home safely from work.
To help you make safety: every job, every day a reality, we’ll be stepping through the risk assessment process throughout October, with practical resources to guide discussions and activities that you can use in National Safe Work Month and beyond.
Our activity kit is designed to guide you through the month with practical resources for your workplace that align with each step of the risk management process. Download the activity kit from our National Safe Work Month resource hub to get your plans for October locked in.
It’s also a good time to plan a SafeTea event! Join hundreds of workplaces putting safety in the spotlight through a SafeTea event this October. National Safe Work Month is the perfect time to get the team together and talk about WHS over a morning or afternoon tea, lunch, breakfast, meeting or toolbox talk – whatever works best for your workplace. Use our SafeTea event kit to help plan and get the safety conversation started.
