SafetyNet 578
June 2, 2021
Welcome to another week's edition of SafetyNet.
It is with great sadness that we inform our readers that since our last edition another worker was killed when he was struck by machinery at his workplace.
In other 'breaking news' - Melbourne is in lockdown for another 7 days. If you, like many hundreds of thousands of Victorians, are working from home, check out the information on our site here.

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.
