WorkSafe has announced that its experts will conduct a range of workplace safety events throughout Victoria and online in observance of Health and Safety Month 2025.

The safety regulator said the yearly tour will commence on Wednesday, October 1, featuring 19 in-person events throughout the state and 12 online webinars to promote discussions on occupational safety.
