Make a start in improving health and safety in your workplace

WHAT IS THE SAFETY PROMISE? WHY SHOULD YOU MAKE

If you care about improving safety in your
business and want some help to get started
or improve what you have already done, one
of the first steps you can take is to make your
safety promise - a public commitment to health
and safety. This is a powerful but simple way to
show the world that you care about safety and
you care about the people in your workplace.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
Simply go to the safety starts with you website
and follow the links to the safety promise.
Then it’s as easy as one, two, three.
1. Talk to your workers about what a safer
workplace might look like.
2. Make your safety promise using the online tool
– your promise will be visible to your staff, your
customers and to other businesses.
3. Turn your words into actions – we have lots
of services that can help you improve safety.
You’ll be asked to provide your business
A SAFETY PROMISE?
Making your safety promise helps you to
achieve a healthier and safer workplace. It also
shows your customers and the community that
you are committed to health and safety in a
meaningful way.
We want to help NSW to create a culture where
business operators lead safety and all people
take personal responsibility for their own safety
and looking out for others. This includes talking
openly about why safety matters and what you
can do together to improve it. A business that is
healthy and safe keeps valuable workers at work
which is important for your business and for the
economy – a good business is a safe business.
Show your commitment to health and safety.
