SafeWork expands its spirited industry initiative to align with ongoing growth

SafeWork SA announces that its partnership with the fast-growing distilling industry in South Australia will persist into 2025, as the education and compliance campaign has been extended.

Launched in May 2024, this campaign represents the first instance of safety audits being performed at gin distilleries in South Australia.

SafeWork has reported that a total of 41 distilleries have undergone audits. The campaign has been prolonged until the conclusion of June this year, as an additional 30 distilleries have been included in the audit roster.

“If a work health and safety risk is identified during the audit and cannot be remedied while the inspector is on site, a statutory notice will be issued,” SafeWork SA stated.

“Inspectors are also providing advice, information and education in relation to compliance with the work health and safety laws.”
