Every day workers in NSW go to work to serve the community, support their teams and contribute to a positive environment. But sometimes, things can go wrong. Workplace violence, whether it’s physical, verbal, or emotional, can happen unexpectedly.
The Work Health and Safety Act and Work Health and Safety Regulation are the two pieces of law in NSW that protect your safety and rights at work. When it comes to your safety at work, it’s the safe way or no way.
The most common workplace injuries can occur when performing routine tasks. SafeWork NSW has produced videos to assist educators and managers in the sector.
