Make safety: every job, every day a reality this October
This year’s theme, safety: every job, every day, encourages all workplaces – regardless of occupation, industry, location, and size – to prioritise safety in their job every day.
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.
Safety: every job, every day means proactively managing WHS risks so you can protect your workers. It’s not just best practice – it’s required under WHS laws.
National Safe Work Month is a great time to take action and consider how you can prioritise safety in your job every day, so set aside some time for WHS during October. Whether it’s a toolbox talk, a safety-focused team meeting, or a lunch or morning tea, use our SafeTea event kit to help plan and guide the conversation.
National Safe Work Month is for everyone!
If you’re an employer, talk to your staff about the campaign and any ideas or activities they have for the month, and get planning! This goes for sole traders and contractors too – you can use National Safe Work Month to review how you manage risks from physical and psychosocial hazards in your work.
If you’re a worker, talk to your WHS officer, health and safety representative, or your manager about how your workplace can participate in National Safe Work Month.
If you’re a health and safety representative (HSR), help your workplace to participate in National Safe Work Month by connecting with workers and your employer to plan activities and raise awareness.
If you’re an industry organisation or union, share our resources with your members with tailored advice based on your industry.
