Health and safety landscape

Embed the ‘Health and safety landscape’ in NSW workplaces to ensure every job is designed to be safe.

Key elements of the landscape

The Health and safety landscape consists of a number of key elements, all of which combine to create good health, safety and productivity outcomes for workplaces:

  • consultation and communication
  • committed leadership from the top
  • good safety practices
  • safe physical and mental environment supported by safe supply chains
  • skilled workers who look out for each other.
