Did you know that Workplace Safety is not only the responsibility of Employers? It’s the responsibility of Employers AND Employees to think and act in a responsible way to help minimise risk in the workplace.

There are a number of things you can do on a daily basis to keep yourself and your colleagues out of harm’s way. Some of these include:

• Completing tasks in accordance with the training provided
• Following the directions of supervisors and management
• Wearing the correct PPE at all times
• Immediately reporting any Health & Safety issues, this includes hazards, injuries, illnesses and near misses

It’s also important that you have regular breaks, eat healthy and drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Remember to STOP and THINK before you DO anything at your place of work. Dove Personnel takes the safety of our employees very seriously if you are worried about safety standards in your workplace you can contact Worksafe Qld
