During national ‘Safe Work’ month, Nyirrunggulung-RISE hosted a ‘Safety Awareness’ lunch with over 20 staff and participants in attendance.
The meeting covered topics such as:
- Warning signs when mowing
- Working in extreme heat
- Working when storms are approaching/lightning
- Drinking water responsibility
- Reducing or eliminating risk of injury by using machines and minimizing risks when necessary.
- Good housekeeping
Plus, the fellas chatted about first aid training and community safety related topics such as snakes, cheeky dogs and communication with coworkers.
To help protect employees, 20-litre jerry cans for use in the case of fuel or chemical spills on a person were distributed.
Overall, the meeting was a successful one, as everyone left feeling more informed and aware of workplace safety. Thank you to all involved.
The Team Creates A Mobile Safety Stand
Check out this incredible mobile safety stand that the Nyirrunggulung-RISE and RISE Katherine teams created!
They wanted to make learning about Work Health & Safety engaging and practical, and we think they’ve succeeded!
The stand includes all the necessary equipment and information in one place and will be used as a prop for toolbox talks and answering WHS questions.
