Make safety at work your priority
October is National Safe Work Month – a time to commit to building a safe and healthy workplace.
No job should be unsafe, and no death or injury is acceptable. A safe and healthy workplace benefits everyone.
During October each year, SafeWork NSW asks businesses, employers, and workers to join us in raising work, health and safety awareness during National Safe Work Month and commit to building safe and healthy workplaces for all Australians.
