Health and Safety Events

Welcome to the Organisational Health Unit's Health and Safety events page. As a part of the department's commitment to supporting your health, safety and wellbeing, this page has been designed to provide information relating to upcoming health and safety events as well as providing some resources to assist you in hosting events at your workplace.

Health and safety events are a great opportunity to reflect on the importance of health and safety in your workplace, involve people in activities and share knowledge and ideas.
