Many industries and workplaces use hazardous chemicals, generate waste, or work with other materials that carry the risk of being spilled. These spills can be harmful in an array of ways, from posing a threat to humans and the environment (e.g. chemicals or acids) to a biohazard (e.g. blood or cytotoxic drugs) to the threat of slip and fall in the workplace.

The National Safe Work Month is all about everyone's health and safety. On average, Australians spend one third of their lives at work. As an employer, it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of your workers. While safety is a serious matter, it does not have to be complicated.
