Workers Up For Safety Awards

A policeman who’s developed a safer way to deal with knives, a worker on the largest demolition job in the southern hemisphere and a call centre operator who’s been suspended for speaking out are among over nearly thirty workers who are in line for the second annual Safety Achievement Awards.

Following on from the successful first ever Safety Awards held last year, this year's awards are expected to be bigger and better and are being held as part of the 2nd Annual Safety Delegates Conference.

The NSW premier, Bob Carr, will be on hand and UnionSafe will also be launching its A-Z Guide for Hazards in the Workplace .

The conference will be jam packed with information for safety representatives and activists with talks on new WorkCover reporting requirements, OHS Consultation and the role of unions in OHS and Workers compensation.

The NSW Labor Council will also be launching its drug and alcohol policy.

The UnionSafe 2nd Annual Safety Delegates Conference will be being held at the Tumbalong Auditorium, Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour from 9am, Friday December 5.
