National Safe Work Month

The primary objective of National Safe Work Month is to encourage individuals and organisations to prioritise safety in their workplaces and work towards reducing the number of work-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities. 

Being healthy and safe means being free from physical and psychological harm. A safe and healthy workplace benefits everyone.  

Safe Work Australia have put together a range of resources to promote safety in your workplace available here.
