Register now for our upcoming webinar: Understanding psychosocial safety in the arts and culture sector 👉 https://lnkd.in/gfEjuuvK Everyone has WHS responsibilities in the workplace. If you’re the boss, you have extra responsibilities to ensure the psychological health and safety of your workers and other people in the workplace, and to manage psychosocial hazards.  This can sometimes feel hard in creative workplaces, where people often cooperate to design and deliver work in atypical ways. But focusing on psychological safety is just as vital in the arts and culture sector as it is everywhere else.  Join SafeWork SA’s Chief Advisor Psychosocial Jason Mavrikis who will explain the laws. Together with Creative Workplaces Council Member Tina Lavranos, they’ll bust some myths about managing psychosocial hazards while still making brilliant art.  (And remember: WHS laws are the same in almost all states and territories, so this webinar will be valuable for everyone.)

This milestone highlights the power of proactive safety measures and enforcement in protecting lives. OSHA’s targeted efforts, particularly in addressing hazards like trench collapses and falls, save lives daily. Preliminary data shows a significant decline in fatalities in these high-risk areas, reflecting the positive impact of focused enforcement and prevention strategies. Let’s continue to push these numbers even lower by prioritizing workplace safety and ensuring every worker goes home safe. Together, we’re building safer workplaces for all!
