Safe Work Australia has released new resources to help workplaces prepare for National Safe Work Month in October.
The Agency encourages employers, small businesses, duty holders and work health and safety representatives to download the new resources and distribute them within their workplaces to lead Work Health and Safety (WHS) during National Safe Work Month.
“Supporting the overarching National Safe Work Month theme, Work Health and Safety through COVID-19, each week of October will focus on a WHS topic, including mental health and using data to create better WHS policy,” Safe Work Australia said.
“Each topic has a downloadable poster and social media tiles so you can easily promote them in your workplace and to your networks,” it said.
“Don’t forget to use #safeworkmonth and #safetytogether, when promoting your organisation’s National Safe Work Month initiatives on social media.”
“Together, we can create safer workplaces for everyone.”
Safe Work Australia said the new resources included an information sheet on participating in National Safe Work Month; a WHS best practice checklist for employers; an information sheet on keeping WHS a priority in the workplace; as well as COVID-19 WHS case studies.
