Safe Work Australia is urging Agencies and individuals to join in the celebration of National Safe Work Month this October.
“Whatever the industry or workplace, everyone can join National Safe Work Month and commit to keeping people safe and healthy at work,” Safe Work Australia said in a statement.
“A safe workplace benefits everyone and it’s easy to get involved,” it said.
It said people could get involved by following a few simple steps.
“They should go to the National Safe Work Month website and download the campaign kit for online and printable resources.
“There you will find posters, social media tiles, newsletter templates and website headers that can be customised with your organisation’s logo to promote National Safe Work Month in your workplace.”
It said the next step would be to download National Safe Work Month work health and safety resources including a best practice checklist for employers, and an information sheet on insuring work health and safety was a priority in the workplace.
There was also an information sheet on preventing psychological injury at work during COVID-19 as well as some pandemic case studies.
“You can share the resources in your workplace via social media, email, virtual meeting or by distributing them in print,” Safe Work Australia said.
“Don’t forget to use the hashtags #safeworkmonth and #safetytogether when promoting your organisation’s National Safe Work Month initiatives on social media so we can look at re-sharing on Safe Work Australia’s social media channels.”
Safe Work Australia’s website for the month in focus can be accessed at this PS News link.
