WORKSAFE TASMANIA MONTH WorkSafe Tasmania Month is part of a nationwide effort to raise awareness of work health and safety and to reduce work-related injury, illness and deaths. It supports the national Safe Work Australia Week and is an initiative of the WorkCover Tasmania Board.
MINISTER’S WELCOME Preventing injury and illness is one of WorkSafe Tasmania’s key strategic goals. Helping you do this in your workplace are the free seminars and workshops on offer during WorkSafe Tasmania Month 2014. Your safety focus may be ensuring you and your colleagues are safe while working at heights, carrying out manual handling tasks, sitting at your workstation or driving. It may be preventing anti-discrimination and bullying and creating a positive work culture. Or perhaps you are looking at the most effective way of planning and implementing safety by creating or reviewing policies, procedures and management systems. Work is where we spend a large part of our days. It’s good for business to support the health and wellbeing of the people that work there, whether that means encouraging exercise and healthy eating, or promoting positive mental health and a better work– life balance. Ultimately, whatever your immediate needs are, everyone’s overall goal is to go home safely at the end of each working day. Regardless of your workplace role and the size and nature of your business, I’m confident you’ll find something in this year’s Program of Events to help you do that. I encourage you to register early and attend these events to learn all you can to be safer and healthier at work. Peter Gutwein MHA Treasurer
