Take time to talk SafeTea
October is National Safe Work month so why not jump on board and host a 'SafeTea' chat this October. Each year Safe Work Australia runs a national campaign to promote & raise awareness around WHS in the workplace, this year they are calling it the 'SafeTea' chat.
SafeTea is about encouraging workplaces to arrange a time for this month to have a chat with their staff around the importance of WHS to make a safe and healthy workplace while enjoying a cuppa.
So, this October we encourage you to gather your team and host a SafeTea chat to discuss the importance of health & safety at work and aim to reduce the number of work-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities. No job should be unsafe and no injury or illness related to work is acceptable, providing a safe & healthy workspace benefits everyone.
Take time to talk SafeTea, start safety conversations that build awareness, reduce risks, and support workplace wellbeing. Learn more about the Return to Work Strategy. Contact us
