SafetyNet 540
Welcome to the July 8 edition of SafetyNet.
It with great sadness that we report that there was a fatality in Bendigo last week. We send our sincerest condolences to the family of the deceased worker.
With Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire now back under Stage 3 Stay at Home restrictions, many essential workers are facing increased risks and many others weeks more of working from home.
To keep up to date and informed between editions of the journal, go to our We Are Union: OHS Reps Facebook page. If you have any questions or need any advice, we can be reached via the Ask Renata facility on the website or through the closed OHS Network Facebook page.
