COVID-19 has changed our world and our workplaces. Every Australian workplace has been affected by the pandemic. Good work health and safety (WHS) practice and risk management is now more important than ever. With October being Safe Work Month, we thought we’d cover work health and safety through COVID-19!
The Safe Work Australia website has information on keeping your workplace safe during COVID-19. It covers issues including:
- risk assessment
- physical distancing
- hygiene
- cleaning
- industry specific information.
Whatever your industry, every organisation can champion work health and safety by participating in National Safe Work Month in October.
It’s an opportunity to build awareness of work health and safety and encourage discussion about safety at work at this crucial time.
You can get involved by downloading WHS resources, sharing them in your workplace and staying up to date with National Safe Work Month news.
