Chair of Safe Work Australia calls for action from business leaders this October.
Diane Smith-Gander, Chair of Safe Work Australia, is calling on business leaders to take action and get involved with National Safe Work Month.
The guide provides information on how to manage health and safety risks associated with the storage, handling, use and disposal of chemical carcinogens in the workplace. It explains specific duties related to prohibited or restricted carcinogens under work health and safety laws and supplements existing guidance on managing risks associated with hazardous chemicals.
Safe Work Australia has released a new publication – Work Health and Safety in the Agricultural Industry.
The report identifies key risks faced by workers in the agricultural industry and provides statistics about injuries, fatalities and workers’ compensation, including how the agricultural industry compares with other industries.
Safe Work Australia has announced it will evaluate the workplace exposure standards for more than 600 chemicals to ensure worker health and safety in Australia is comparable with latest evidence and international best practice.
