Welcome to WorkSafe Tasmania Month 2026

This October, WorkSafe Month returns with a program of in-person and online events designed to help Tasmanian workplaces improve safety, health and wellbeing.

The 2026 theme, Safe Work is for Life, recognises that work health and safety matters throughout our working lives. Safe and healthy work protects people today, supports their long-term wellbeing and helps create better workplaces for the future.

This years program includes a series of free regional safety brunches held across the state and a line up of webinars.

WorkSafe Tasmania Safety Brunch

Responding to and working to prevent workplace fatalities and serious injuries - Organisational strategies for response and prevention

Join us at our Safety Brunch in 2026 to hear from industry leaders on a sensitive and important topic.

Kurt Warren manages workplace safety, environmental risks, quality systems and sustainability across complex construction projects for Hansen Yuncken.

A highly accomplished and business-focused safety executive with over 25 years of experience across high-risk industries, Kurt last year was awarded the Australian Institute of Health & Safety (AIHS) OHS Leader of the Year.

After brunch, Angela Hucker will share practical actions including awareness of factors like psychosocial hazards, designed to decrease the future likelihood of fatalities - and examine the true ‘costs’ of a workplace injury.

Angela is the Founder and CEO of EPIC (Empowering People in Construction), a Tasmanian organisation dedicated to improving culture, inclusion, leadership and psychosocial safety in the construction industry.

Our final presenter, Conrad Wansbrough a Co-Director with One Safe Tasmania, will offer a compelling and practical perspective on workplace safety, informed by his own experience of workplace injury. Conrad will share his personal injury story and connect it to key safety leadership concepts, exploring the critical role of risk management, leadership, systems and decision-making in creating safer workplaces.

An experienced safety manager and Griffith University Safety Science graduate, Conrad brings hands on expertise across construction, mining, marine, tourism and government.
