NSW Commits to the Safest Workplaces in Australia
NSW workplaces are aiming to be the safest in the country after the Liberal National Government committed to ambitious new targets in a refreshed Work Health and Safety Roadmap.
Minister for Better Regulation Matt Kean said the plan sought to reduce work-related deaths by 30 per cent, as well as injuries and illnesses by 50 per cent within five years.
“This isn’t just about numbers though. This is about people - and we’re doing everything we can to ensure they return home to their families after work each day,” Mr Kean said.
