Safe Work Month opens in October

Virtual program features a number of on-demand presentations
Date: Monday, 21 September 2020

Safe Work Month is held in October each year and encourages employers and workers to promote positive work health and safety in the workplace. This year’s theme is “Staying focused on workplace health and safety”.

While 2020 has involved many challenges, Safe Work Month aims to remind industry and the community that the health and safety of Western Australian workers remains a priority.

The event will feature a virtual program of activities with on demand video presentations from dangerous good safety, mines safety and WorkSafe. There will also be live-stream question and answer sessions from industry experts.

Safety and health representatives, managers, supervisors, safety professionals and workers in all industry sectors are encouraged to register.

Registrations are now open at www.wa.gov.au/government/safe-work-month. If you would like more information or a full list of presentations, contact SafetyComms@dmirs.wa.gov.au.

While a number of traditional events are on hold, DMIRS continues to work with industry to reduce serious accidents and incidents, and provide tangible support in achieving a positive cultural change.
