“During National Safe Work Month, we want to recognise that workers, employees, managers, supervisors, teams and organisations can all be safety champions.
“It doesn’t matter what industry you work in, what role you do, whether you act as an individual or work as a team. We can all actively promote work health and safety.” Ms Baxter said.?

During October PBF will be working with our corporate partners to share the important Safe Work message. Planned activity on the East Coast includes presentations at Rio Tinto, Santos, Tafe QLD, Thales and Upstream Productions with over 800 employees expected to attend. The injury prevention work with PBF member Ingham’s will also continue. In Western Australia Serco are hosting a series of PBF activations for their team at Fiona Stanley Hospital to highlight work safety month. Other planned injury prevention presentations during the month include Orontide, IFAP & Aveling.
