Each October, National Safe Work Month provides an opportunity to raise awareness of work health and safety and encourage workplaces to take action.

This year’s theme, Safe work is for life, highlights that work health and safety is about more than preventing harm today, it is about protecting people’s lives, livelihoods and futures.

Whether you are an employer, supervisor, worker or health and safety representative, Safe Work Month is a chance to reflect, learn and take practical steps to prevent serious injuries and illnesses and build healthier and safer workplaces.
