Work-related injuries and illnesses impact not only individuals but also their families and the broader community. Startling statistics reveal that 169 people lost their lives while on the job in 2021, and there were approximately 130,195 serious workers’ compensation claims made in 2020-21, according to Safe Work Australia. However, there’s much more that can be done and the power to make a difference lies in our collective hands.
The primary goal of National Safe Work Month is to inspire individuals and organisations to make safety a top priority within their workplaces. The aim is to reduce the number of work-related injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
Hence, every October, Testel and our franchisees across Australia come together to participate in programs offered during National Safe Work Month. This commitment shows our collective dedication to fostering safe and healthy workplaces for our clients and ourselves, a mission that benefits everyone involved.
This week’s theme of the campaign is “Working Together to Ensure a Safe and Healthy Workplace.” It’s a call to action and a tagline that we have been communicating to our clients for years.
We are at the forefront of increasing electrical safety awareness. Since our start, Testel has been committed to our clients’ electrical safety compliance by taking a systematic approach that focuses on fundamental workplace safety requirements.
At Testel, safety is the foundation of our operations. We believe that building a strong safety culture and helping our clients maintain electrical compliance is a collaborative effort that requires a 24/7 mindset.
During the learning session, we also emphasised the significance of teamwork in workplace risk management. As the world of work evolves and new patterns and forms of work emerge, integrating WHS (Work Health and Safety) as a fundamental element of Australian business practices is crucial for maintaining safe and healthy workplaces among these changes.
National Safe Work Month serves as a powerful reminder that the safety and well-being of workers must always remain a top priority. The commitment of organisations like Testel to this cause is evidence of the progress being made in creating safer and healthier workplaces for all Australian businesses. By working together and fostering a culture of safety, we can help reduce the number of workplace injuries and ensure a brighter and safer future for all.
