South Australian workplaces urged to prioritise safety during National Safe Work Month

SafeWork SA is urging workplaces to begin preparing an event to promote awareness of crucial work health and safety concerns during National Safe Work Month.

National Safe Work Month has been observed since 2009, following a significant rise in workplace fatalities in Australia, which peaked at 310 in 2007.

SafeWork SA is promoting a series of events for this year's campaign, which includes a workplace competition, an incident simulation, four webinars, and two mock trials.

According to the most recent statistics provided by Safe Work Australia, there were 195 work-related fatalities in Australia during 2022, of which 14 were reported in South Australia.
