Celebrated every October, National Safe Work Month (NSWM) is a time to commit to building a safe and healthy workplace.

Being healthy and safe means being free from physical and psychological harm. No job should be unsafe and no death or injury is acceptable. A safe and healthy workplace benefits everyone.

As the state’s Regulator, SafeWork SA asks businesses, employers and workers across the state to join National Safe Work Month and commit to building safe and healthy workplaces for all South Australians.

Safety is everyone’s business.

The theme of this year’s campaign is: Safety is everyone’s business. We will focus on different health and safety topics for each week of National Safe Work Month.

Week 1: Work health and safety fundamentals

Week 2: Psychosocial hazards

Week 3: Risk management fundamentals

Week 4: Musculoskeletal injuries

The following pages will be updated closer to October, so watch this space!
