We all have health and safety responsibilities in the workplace and only when everyone contributes to the wellbeing of their colleagues we will achieve an injury and incident free environment.
Last year, 144 workers and 100 members of the public were killed by the activities of work and over 18,000 workers sustained life changing injuries. In this day and age this is unacceptable.
