At Horner, your safety is important to us – every month and every day!
The month of October is National Safe Work Month—a time to commit to building a safe and healthy workplace.
During October each year, Safe Work Australia asks workers and employers across Australia to commit to safe and healthy workplaces for all Australians.
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.
Each week of October focuses on a WHS topic acknowledging that being healthy and safe means being free from physical and psychological harm and that encourages best practice WHS.
Everyone has the right to be safe at work no matter where you work. The changing workforce considers a range of workers and high-risk industries in the current workforce and what the future workforce may look like by 2060.
This week’s focus is on identifying and managing the psychosocial risks at work which can cause harm to both mental and physical health.
Everyone has the right to be safe at work. The air you and others breathe at work can be hazardous and cause lung damage. Occupational lung diseases are conditions of the respiratory system caused by workplace exposure to dusts, gases, fumes, vapours mists and microorganisms.
Be safe: inside and out is about hazards in the workplace such as weather, bushfire smoke and UVR exposure outside and MSDs, confined spaces and COVID-19 exposure inside.
