Information sessions held at Safe Work Week

Safe Work Australia Week will have more than 80 free information sessions available for people to attend.

Tom Phillips, presiding member of the SafeWork SA Advisory Committee, said the free workshops will provide ‘how to’ information across a broad range of workplace health and safety topics.

“This year we have more speakers and information sessions due to the continued interest and success of South Australia’s major workplace health and safety event,” Phillips said.

“There is something for everyone with sessions about workplace bullying, noise protection, the challenges associated with an ageing workforce, conveyor safety to risk management and more.”

A number of sessions this year will also explain the proposed Work Health and Safety laws, already in place in several other states and currently before the South Australian Parliament.

A highlight of the week is said to be the mock OHS dispute, which follows a workplace safety case from a work setting through to its conclusion in an Industrial Court Mock Trial.

The week concludes with the presentation of the Safe Work Awards at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Friday, 26 October.
