SAFE WORK WEEK 2011 ... - Health and Safety Risk Management

Bookings are now being taken for free events in Safe Work Week 2011, South Australia?s major awareness event for occupational health, safety and welfare (OHS).

The program will run in late October, and involves more than 60 free information sessions over five days. These have been tailored to meet the needs of employers, employees, OHS professionals, contractors, business owners, OHS committee members, health and safety representatives (HSRs), rehabilitation and return to work coordinators, risk advisors and HR personnel.

Topics range from cyber bullying and safety culture, through to conveyor safety and risk management, with a large number of sessions helping people to understand the model Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws starting in 2012.

Industrial Magistrate, Stephen Lieschke will have a key role in two of the highlight events of the week. He will oversee proceedings at a Mock OHS Dispute which follows the official opening on Monday 24 October. He will also preside over the Mock Industrial Court Trial to be held at the Space Theatre on Friday 28 October.

?The general public tends to think of workplace safety as business as usual until something goes wrong,? says Tom Phillips the head of the SafeWork SA Advisory Committee. ?What they don?t realise is the thought, negotiation, planning and hard work that often goes into finding workplace hazards, fixing them and making sure everyone is safety-conscious. ?Safe Work Week 2011 is about informing, empowering and inspiring those who have the responsibility or the interest in making workplaces safe, showing what can be achieved, and the benefits that result from safer workplaces,? Mr. Phillips said.

The highlights include:

? Official opening by the Minister for Industrial Relations, followed by a Mock OHS Dispute

? Sessions on WHS Laws

? Hypothetical: Managing Teams in Trouble

? Mock Industrial Court Trial at the Space Theatre.

Safe Work Week 2011 will conclude with the presentation of the Safe Work Awards at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Friday 28 October.

The full Safe Work Week 2011 program of events can be viewed online at www.safework.sa.gov.au/sw2011, where bookings can also be made.

Safe Work Week 2011 is presented by the SafeWork?SA Advisory Committee, in partnership with SafeWork?SA, SA Unions, Business SA and WorkCoverSA.
