National Safe Work Month
October is National Safe Work Month— a time to commit to building a safe and healthy workplace.
During October each year, we ask our workers to commit to safe and healthy workplaces for all.
Being healthy and safe means being free from physical and psychological harm. No job should be unsafe and no death or injury is acceptable. A safe and healthy workplace benefits everyone.
The theme for National Safe Work Month this year is
think safe. work safe. be safe.
Think Safe – the first step to thinking about workplace health and safety; plan, identify risks and maintain healthy and safe work places.
Work Safe – the implementation of work health and safety measures is the next vital step to manage the risks and includes the practical steps you can take to reduce risk and avoid workplace incidents.
Be Safe – Consider your actions at work, being safe is the ongoing process of managing and monitoring work health and safety risks. It’s not a one off, it’s every day.
