The ideal WHS landscape in the transport sector should include:

• workplace leaders who show commitment to health and safety through participation in safety meetings in the workplace and elsewhere
• safe systems of work implemented through consultation with workers
• clear and relevant communication in safety messages to aid workers from diverse backgrounds, including young and non-English speaking workers
• worker input into new safety practices. A safe environment takes into consideration the physical and psychological (mental health) aspects of work practices
• both formal and ‘on the job’ developmental opportunities are used to develop worker capability
• adequate supervision provided for workers while they are developing capability in the workplace.
