Working together to prevent injuries and ill health
before they happen.
The aim of National Safe Work Month is to:
“Encourage all individuals and organisations to prioritise safety in their workplaces and work towards reducing the number of work-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities.” – Safe Work Australia
In addition to our Injury Prevention Services, we’re supporting this aim with a collection of free resources including posters, blogs and information sheets. You can use and distribute these resources in your workplace to guide your people towards safe and healthy working practices.
