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.

This year’s theme, safety: every job, every day, encourages all workplaces – regardless of occupation, industry, location, and size – to prioritise safety in their job every day.
