Program overview
With the new work health and safety laws due to commence on 1 January 2012, a panel of speakers will explore how designing healthy and safe workplaces prevents harm and promotes health and wellbeing through the participation of workers.
Strong evidence recognises work is generally good for health and wellbeing, and that long-term absence, disability and unemployment generally have a negative impact on health and wellbeing. Good work can have a positive impact by providing financial security, social inclusion, personal development, friendship, self-esteem and protection from physical and psychosocial harm. By providing a healthy and safe work environment and promoting the health benefits of fair and decent work we can deliver stronger federal workplaces and improve participation for those with a disability or ill health.
Speakers will explore topics such as:
- promoting mental health and wellbeing; and
- the new Work Health and Safety laws – preventing harm such as workplace bullying – a new code of practice
