Avoiding a slip or trip at work is more than just putting up a wet floor sign or holding a handrail.

Work planning and design can reduce risk and eliminate hazards. Where that isn’t possible, extra care needs to be taken to provide and maintain safe access and work areas.

We’ve added more practical information to help you reduce risks.

Safety at work is a serious job.

Why not dream small? 😉

Safety projects don’t need to be big to have a lasting impact. The Augusta Zadow Awards offer grants for solutions that benefit women and young workers.

There’s no minimum amount to apply for, because we know even a few hundred dollars can go a long way to improving safety in your community.

Looking for ideas?

✅ Create a video with your class about the importance of safety at school and share it with your community

✅ Develop a program to help young women get into a trade

✅ Start a project encouraging workers to get outdoors for fresh air and exercise

Curb the risk of injuries from hazardous manual tasks on your construction site by digging into our free downloadable resources.

From concreting, steel fixing and formwork through to operating mobile plant, everyday work can quietly pile on strain if the task is repetitive, awkward, or goes on for long stretches.

Our online resources include construction-specific checklists that can be used to review your safe work procedure, work instructions or Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) and ensure that these documents address risks from HMTs.

Help your crew work safely and smarter, not harder and build a safer site from the ground up 🏗️ 😎 https://safework.sa.gov.au/workplaces/hazardous-manual-tasks/hazardous-manual-tasks-in-construction/additional-resources
