2020 is a year that a great many people will choose to forget.

2020 was a year that made us more resourceful, more thoughtful and more resilient.

Now we have entered 2021, this will be a year that we can focus on building more sustainable and safe business practices.

Workplace Health and Safety is more important than ever, particularly as we change the way in which we now work.

Some people are not aware that you maybe covered for an accident that happens on your way to or from work and travel during your work day. A link below to give you a little more information.

Not all work-related injuries happen in your main place of work. Depending on the circumstances, you may still be eligible for compensation.

In these uncertain times it is vital that businesses have contingency plans in place.
Although we cannot plan sufficiently for pandemics, developing a plan to minimise business interruption will go a long way in ensuring you are equipped to deal with the bump in the road that occurs.
Businesses are doing it tough and may indeed do so for a while to come.
If you can, support businesses in your local area. We will all get through this together.

Thursday the 12th of October 2017 has seen a change in legislation which has introduced Industrial Manslaughter Laws to protect Queenslanders. We have lost too many workers and innocent bystanders in industrial accidents that could have been so easily prevented.

The warning is clear - if you cost someone their life, you’ll pay. That’ll be the case under new laws which create the offence of industrial manslaughter in Queensland.

Within workplaces, some people tend to think of Health and Safety as just plain common sense. This is what happens when common sense goes out the window.Just because you have always done it that way and had no accidents or incidents, does not make it safe.
