Get on board the WorkSafe roadshow

08 May 2008

WorkSafe’s annual roadshow to metropolitan and regional centres is about to begin and  employers and workers are invited to attend community briefings in late May and June.

Specialists from WorkSafe’s workplace health and safety, premium and return to work teams are running 17 briefings covering a range of topics.

Chief Executive Officer, Greg Tweedly, said the annual roadshow had been a valuable way to raise awareness of workplace safety and workers compensation issues in an informal environment.

“As a modern regulator, it’s important to ensure the community has a clear understanding of their rights and obligations, WorkSafe’s objectives and how its operates.

“Taking the time to get information direct from WorkSafe staff, meeting face to face and asking questions about particular concerns is an investment in your business or your working life.”

This year’s topics:

Making your workplace safer: Check your understanding of safety basics, find out where to get information on health and safety and learn about new WorkSafe projects.

Innovative return to work initiatives: Learn about new ways you can meet your obligations to help injured workers get back to work as soon as possible.

Your WorkSafe premium for 2008/09: Find out how your WorkSafe Injury Insurance premium will be assessed in 2008/09, and the important link between better safety, effective return to work practices and the amount you pay.
