Workplace Safety Share

There is a particular emphasis on providing current material for presentation daily, to work crews who conduct “high risk” activities e.g. mobile equipment operation, working at height, power tool operation, use of access equipment, ladders, etc. Information distributed may be useful to Supervisors, with focussing crews on safe high risk plant and equipment tasks in particular, along with transpor

t, warehousing, materials handling and logistics activities. News items could be presented to crews daily or weekly, with other website resources provided to assist at crew safety toolbox meetings, or at workplace safety committee meetings. Material presented is sourced daily from government, industry bodies and respected media publications. Information and opinions expressed in external material are not necessarily supported by Workplace Safety Share, but are made available to:

1. prompt crews to “switch onto safety” and “high risk” activities at daily job pre-starts;
2. highlight specific safety topics & alerts;
3. provide a focus on plant and equipment topics;
4. share knowledge of plant, equipment and high risk activities;
5. provide general information of interest for workplaces;
6. engage work crews in a consultative and sharing forum;
7. encourage work crew participation in safety activities;
8. stimulate discussion and sharing of issues and resolutions;
9. capture and share improvement ideas. Full of actionable information, WSS covers important topics including regulatory compliance, Workplace Health and Safety alerts, incidents, and prosecutions. Keeping people safe and healthy is not just a job; it’s an obligation. WSS can assist in keeping supervisors and crews informed, whilst maintaining awareness of workplace hazards and controls.
