Get involved in work health and safety this October

This October, Safe Work Australia is running the inaugural Virtual Seminar Series (VSS) - a free online event run throughout Safe Work Australia Month.

The VSS showcases some of the latest work health and safety thinking, developments, innovations and research, and supports the vision of the Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy 2012-2022, which is the 10-year framework to encourage improvements in Australia’s workplace health and safety.

The VSS is aimed at those with an interest in work health and safety and will feature live interactive panels and video presentations by work health and safety regulators, experts, business leaders and academics.

The themes for the VSS are:

• leadership and culture,
• responsive and effective regulation,
• agriculture and road freight transport industries, and
• small business.
