October is ‘National Safe Work Month’, an initiative of Safe Work Australia that reminds us about the vital importance of safety in the workplace. The theme for 2021 is ‘think safe. work safe. be safe.’.
Blackwoods prides itself on promoting workplace safety and providing expertise and solutions in safety practice. Not surprisingly we are also proud supporters of ‘National Safe Work Month’, and we always find great ways to bring people, including employers, workers, and customers, together in many different environments. There is nothing more important to us than keeping our people and our customers safe.
This October let's remember that we are all responsible for health and safety in the workplace.
