Speak up to report a work health and safety concern
It’s easy to confidentially report work health and safety concerns with the Speak Up Save Lives app.
Speaking up about an unsafe work environment can feel like a challenge, especially if you are a younger worker or if English is not your first language. Sometimes you may feel you don’t have a voice.
It’s important to understand that people can be seriously injured or killed when work health and safety issues are not raised in the workplace.
It’s everyone’s responsibility to raise hazardous working environments to a manager or supervisor, however if you don’t feel comfortable or aren’t able to speak up at work; you can tell us via the Speak Up Save Lives app.
The Speak Up Save Lives app is an effective tool to anonymously report any health and safety concerns you may have in your workplace.
All submissions via Speak Up Safe Lives app are assessed and responded to by SafeWork NSW. You’ll also get a reference number so you can follow up, should you wish to share your details.
If you choose to share your contact details, we can keep you updated on the outcome of your submission. We can also advise you on how to manage the safety issue, including how to raise it with your employer or supervisor. We can also let you know what the law says about your concern.
If your submission identifies a potentially serious safety issue, we may need to send an inspector out to the workplace.
If there is an incident involving a serious injury or illness of a person, a death of a person or a potentially dangerous incident, the person in charge will need to notify SafeWork NSW immediately by calling 13 10 50.
Or you can report an incident online.
