SafetyNet 534

Welcome to the May 27 edition of SafetyNet

Unfortunately there was another worker fatality in Victoria this week. 

In Victoria, employers have been advised that if possible, workers should continue working from home until the end of June - so while large numbers of workers were back on site this week - notable teachers, there will be many still at home. 

If you need any assistance or advice on hazards or conditions whether at the workplace or at home, contact your union. Also, remember that everyone at the VTHC is still available to answer queries and help in any way we can. This includes the OHS Unit, the Young Workers Centre, the Migrant Workers Centre, the Women's and Equity Team and everyone else.

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.
