New WHS Resources Released for National Safe Work Month

Safe Work Australia recently released a range of new resources to assist organisations in preparing for national safe work month.

The resources have been published on the National Safe Work Month website, and include:

• WHS best practice checklist for employers
• Keeping WHS a priority in your workplace information sheet
• COVID-19 WHS case studies
• Join National Safe Work Month and commit to keeping people safe and healthy at work information sheet

Safe Work Australia encouraged employers, small businesses, duty holders and work health and safety representatives to download the resources and distribute them within their workplaces.

Supporting the overarching national safe work month theme – Work Health and Safety through COVID-19, Safe Work Australia said each week of October will focus on a WHS topic, including mental health and using data to create better WHS policy.

Each topic has a downloadable poster and social media tiles so organisations can promote them in their workplace and to their networks.
