Workplace health and safety isn’t just a compliance tick-in-the-box. It’s the foundation of thriving, respectful and resilient workplaces and requires everyone’s participation. Whether your role is customer-facing, behind a desk, out in the community or leading a team; safety is everyone’s responsibility.
So, what can I do?
- Speak up: If you see an unsafe work practice or something doesn’t feel right, share it with a colleague or people leader.
- Embed safety: Make it part of your everyday conversations, decisions, practices and values.
- Support your peers: Check-in, listen and empower others to contribute to safe work practices.
- Stay informed: Engage in safety meetings, surveys and training opportunities.
- Lead by example: Whether you’re a team member or a leader, take proactive steps to prevent harm.
Creating safer workplaces isn’t a one-time initiative, it’s a continuous team effort.
When we all take ownership, we build a culture that not only protects but empowers us all.
At the end of the day, we all want to get home safe to our families.
