Welcome to the second Safe Work Month event for 2023, the Psychosocial hazards industry forum.
The health and safety of workers both physical and psychological is extremely important, and is a key priority for the State Government.
Safe Work Month provides many opportunities to learn more about health and safety in workplaces. Today’s workplaces present a number of challenges to both the physical and mental health of workers, and much positive action is being taken across our State to address these challenges. This helps create stronger safety mindsets, behaviours and practices that support the prevention of harm.
This forum brings together a range of industry experts to discuss psychosocial hazards and the mental health of WA workers. Please take what you learn today back to your workplaces and use it to help improve safety and health outcomes.
