October is National Safe Work Month in Australia and while workplace injuries and fatalities are steadily on the decline, there is still work to be done. Together with workers and employers we can all make South Australian worksites safe places to be.
If you’re as serious about workplace safety as we are, we’d love you to come and join us during National Safe Work Month for a series of free training and information sessions led by our senior workplace experts.
Business SA is pleased to partner with SafeWork SA and is offering free training and information sessions in both metropolitan and regional locations.
