What is WorkSafe Month?

WorkSafe Month is a time for employers and workers to focus on improving work health and safety, wellbeing and injury management outcomes across Tasmania.

Every October, workers and employers are encouraged to take part in the many events and activities provided virtually and in-person, to advance their skills and knowledge.

This year’s theme is ‘Safe Bodies, Safe Minds: Working together to ensure workers return home safe and well every day’.

WorkSafe Month is an initiative funded by the WorkCover Tasmania and delivered by WorkSafe Tasmania.
