Safe Work Month 2025

October is National Safe Work Month 2025. The OFSC is proud to support this campaign - a time to commit to safer, healthier workplaces for everyone. 

This year, the OFSC’s focus is Emergency Preparedness with our ‘prepared today, protected tomorrow’ campaign – because being ready to respond to the unexpected can prevent harm. From natural disasters to on-site incidents, having a clear plan and knowing your role in an emergency is critical. 

During WHS Scheme audits, consideration of the Emergency Preparedness audit criterion, WH13, frequently requires companies to take corrective actions. Our campaign will support accredited companies and the broader community by increasing awareness and demonstrating how companies can improve their readiness to respond to emergencies. 

Stay tuned this month for practical resources, statistics and expert insights to help you succeed in strengthening your emergency management strategies and keep your team safe. Let’s work together to make safety a priority this October and beyond.
