SafeWork to concentrate on adherence to safety regulations at Sydney Easter Show

SafeWork NSW says it is actively working with the organisers of the Sydney Royal Easter Show to secure the safety of an estimated 800,000 visitors. This initiative includes detailed inspections and the strict enforcement of safety standards by qualified inspectors and engineers.

Engineers have conducted audits on specific high-risk amusement rides to help ensure adherence to the Work Health and Safety Regulations, in accordance with the National Audit Tool. Operators are mandated to perform comprehensive inspections, maintenance, and safety assessments prior to the operation of any ride.

Trent Curtin, the Head of SafeWork NSW, emphasised the importance of safety at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

"Safety at the Sydney Royal Easter Show is non-negotiable, all workers and operators must follow strict safety standards to protect themselves and the public," he said.

"We have had a strong presence since 24 March, working to ensure operators understand their safety responsibilities and have the right processes in place to protect workers and visitors throughout the event."
