WORK
National Safe Work Month 2025
BY SAFE WORK AUSTRALIA
Safe Work Australia
encourages all workplaces
to prac琀椀ce safety: every job,
every day this Na琀椀onal Safe
Work Month
Each year, around 200 people
lose their lives at work and
more than 100,000 serious
workers’ compensa琀椀on
claims for injuries and
illnesses are accepted. While
injury and fatality rates have
fallen signi昀椀cantly over the
last decade, the people and
the stories behind these
numbers remind us not to be
complacent. No one should
lose their life, or have their
life seriously altered by
injury or illness, because of
their job – that’s why each
October Safe Work Australia
puts WHS in the spotlight
through our Na琀椀onal Safe
Work Month campaign.
This year’s theme, safety:
every job, every day,
encourages all workplaces
– regardless of occupa琀椀on,
industry, loca琀椀on, and size
– to priori琀椀se safety every
day. Prac琀椀cing safety: every
job, every day means we can
reduce the rate of fatali琀椀es,
serious injuries and illnesses
in our workplaces, and ensure
that everyone gets home
safely from work.
To support workplaces in
achieving this vision, each
week in October, Safe Work
Australia will be stepping
through the WHS risk
management process:
iden琀椀fy hazards
assess risks
control risks
review controls
with prac琀椀cal resources
to guide discussions and
ac琀椀vi琀椀es that workplaces can
use in Na琀椀onal Safe Work
Month and beyond.
Safe Work Australia looks
forward to joining thousands
of workplaces around
the na琀椀on pu琀�ng
WHS front and
centre this Na琀椀onal
Safe Work Month.
