SafeWork SA is encouraging businesses to promote health and safety in the workplace during National Safe Work Month.
Held in October each year, Safe Work Month aims to improve awareness of work health and safety, encourage discussion about safety at work and share positive workplace stories from across Australia.
One way to do this is to attend an event run by SafeWork SA. Throughout the month of October, SafeWork SA has a range of events to up-date your knowledge and chat with others who have a passion for safety at work.
Throughout National Safe Work Month, there are also special promotions available to workplaces. Businesses can book a range of free presentations for their workplace, to make safety more accessible. Click here for the full list of special promotions available
