A safety workplace, also known as a safe and secure work environment, is a setting where employees can carry out their duties without fear of harm or injury. It is characterized by a commitment to protecting the well-being of all individuals within the workplace, including employees, visitors, and contractors. Here's a description of what a safety workplace entails:
A safety workplace is a haven where people can work, learn, and thrive without compromising their health, well-being, or personal security. It is a testament to an organization's unwavering dedication to the welfare of its employees and the broader community.
Key Features of a Safety Workplace:
Risk Mitigation: In a safety workplace, potential hazards are meticulously identified and assessed. Comprehensive safety measures are then put in place to mitigate these risks. Regular safety audits and assessments are conducted to ensure ongoing compliance.
Employee Training: Employees are provided with the necessary training and resources to understand safety protocols and best practices. This empowers them to make informed decisions and take proactive steps to ensure their safety and that of their colleagues.
Safety Culture: A safety workplace fosters a culture of safety where everyone is encouraged to actively participate in maintaining a secure environment. Open communication channels exist for reporting safety concerns and near-miss incidents without fear of reprisal.
Safety Equipment and Gear: The workplace is equipped with appropriate safety gear and equipment, such as personal protective equipment (PPE), fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and emergency evacuation plans. Regular maintenance and inspections are conducted to ensure their reliability.
Emergency Response: A safety workplace has well-defined emergency response protocols. Employees are trained to respond calmly and effectively in the event of accidents, fires, natural disasters, or other crises.
Health and Wellness Programs: Organizations often provide wellness initiatives to promote the physical and mental well-being of employees. This includes access to healthcare, stress management programs, and resources for maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
Compliance with Regulations: The workplace adheres to all relevant local, state, and federal safety regulations. Compliance is monitored, and any necessary adjustments are made to ensure that the workplace remains in line with the latest safety standards.
Continuous Improvement: A safety workplace is committed to continuous improvement in safety practices. Feedback is solicited from employees, and safety measures are refined based on lessons learned and emerging best practices.
In essence, a safety workplace is a sanctuary where individuals can dedicate their talents and skills to their tasks without worry, knowing that their well-being is a top priority. It stands as a testament to an organization's commitment to its people, reflecting not only responsible business

57. Why do we have an evacuation
drill?
• We can leave safely.
• No one gets hurt.
• No one gets left behind.
58. Evacuation Drill
When you hear the alarm:
1. Stop work
2. Walk through the emergency exit to the
assembly point
3. Answer your name when called
4. Wait for instructions
This presentation is designed to assist team leaders, supervisors and trainers explain and reinforce to supported employees within the organisation why working safely is important and how the organisation and they can ensure they work safely.
The accompanying Trainers Guide contains tips on different ways to use this presentation to maximise relevance and impact for participants. As a trainer your aim should be to ensure examples, pictures and graphics are relevant to the participants’ workplace and work activities.
While the presentation is designed for use with employees with an intellectual disability, it can be used with any supported employees in a business service.
In developing the resource we have attempted to ensure that the OH&S core competencies covered in most wage assessment tools including the Business Services Wage Assessment Tool have been addressed. The questions that people with a disability must answer in relation to OH&S include:
identifying and using protective clothing or equipment appropriately
carrying out basic safety checks on equipment prior to operation
setting up and organising the work station in accordance with OH&S standards
following safety instructions
performing manual handling tasks to recommended safety practice
disposing of waste safety in accordance with the requirements of the workplace and OH&S standards
knowing what to do if they or someone else hurts themselves at work
knowing the importance of using/wearing protective clothing or equipment
knowing what a hazard is
taking appropriate action when they notice something is unsafe at work
taking appropriate action if the fire alarm goes off
knowing why it is important to follow evacuation procedures
using appropriate methods to move objects in the workplace.
Ask participants for some examples of the safety rules in their work area
Note: You need to click the mouse to bring each example up on the slide.
Typical examples of safety rules could be:
staying on designated walkways
observing the hygiene signs
wearing protective clothing
If necessary, explain the term PPE and provide examples– this is also covered in a later slide
An activity could be to select a couple of relevant safety rules and discuss why they are rules.
For example, ‘what might happen if people in the kitchen didn’t wash their hands regularly?’
Or
‘what might happen if we didn’t have designated walkways?’
Reiterate the message on the slide about people not getting hurt.
Using examples is always useful in training activities however it is important to make the example as relevant as possible to the experience of the participants. If there have been recent incidents of people being hurt because they have not followed the safety rules, they will be pparticularly useful.
Prior to the session:
insert a picture of the team leader on the slide
if you use another term (like supervisor or job coach) or reports of injuries need to be made to someone else, change the text on the slide
Show participants a copy of the workplace injury notification form.
Discuss filling out workplace forms, why this needs to be done and who can help.
An important training tip to remember is the more relevant the examples are, the more meaningful training is to the participants. There is also more chance of the material being remembered.
Explain that safety takes priority over everything else.
Ask the participants for examples of where work is being done safely.
In some workplaces a graph with injury free days can be an ongoing reminder about safety in the workplace. It may even be possible to set a goal of injury free days and reward workers when this is achieved.
At the beginning of this session take a few minutes to reflect on the areas covered in the previous session.
Remind participants about safety rules and why working safely is important.
Prior to the session make a list of hazards relevant to the work of the people who will be in the group.
Before displaying the answer to the main question, discuss with participants what they think a hazard is.
Ask them to give examples of some hazards in their workplace.
When displaying this slide and the seven which follow, ask one or two participants to name a hazard of the particular type.
When identifying hazards remember to consider
Equipment (eg box cutters)
Product (eg paper)
Furniture and fittings (eg broken glass, a sharp edge on a metal shelf)
Identify the hazards that can trip people in your workplace (eg air hoses, power cables, loose carpet etc).
Identify the hazards that can cause burns in your workplace (eg electric heaters, oxy acetylene cutting equipment, hot water etc).
Identify the hazards that can crush people in the workplace (eg forklifts, pallet jacks, large sliding doors etc).
Identify the loud noises that can damage hearing in the workplace, (eg grinders, air tools, lawn mowers, hammering etc).
Identify the hazards that can damage their eyes in the workplace (eg grinding sparks, welding flash, compressed air, chemical sprays, flying objects etc).
Identify the hazards that can make you sick in your workplace (eg chemicals, gas).
Identify the hazards that can cause pain in your workplace (eg repetition of tasks without a break, incorrect posture).
Before the session, change the picture in this slide to one of significant hazards in the participants’ work area.
Ask the participants to identify the hazards in each picture.
When the hazard has been identified work through the safe working behaviours and PPE required to reduce the hazard.
For example in the picture provided the hazard/s are:
box cutting knife blade exposed
The safe working behaviours are:
using appropriate PPE when using the knife
Tips for removing photographs and inserting new ones are included in the trainer’s guide.

Before the session, change the next group of slides so that they show the hazard signs that are displayed in the participants’ work areas.
As you show the slides:
ask the group to tell you what hazard each sign is warning of.
discuss how to avoid being hurt by these hazards.
For example, the Forklift hazard sign lets us know that a forklift is operating in the area. To avoid being hurt by a forklift we need to keep to designated walkways, walk and not run and keep alert.
At the beginning of this session take a few minutes to reflect on the areas covered in the previous sessions.
Remind participants about safety rules, why working safely is important and about hazards in the workplace
Prior to the session, check that the items of PPE included in this and the next four slides are relevant to the participants in your group. Insert further slides if needed or change the PPE shown.
As each item of PPE appears ask participants:
to identify what it is
what it protects them from
when they are expected to wear it
For example goggles are to protect workers’ eyes from hazards including sparks from a machine. They need to be worn when the worker is using an angle grinder.
Insert a photo here of one of the workers wearing the right protective equipment and point out that a safe worker is a person wearing the right PPE
At the beginning of this session take a few minutes to reflect on the areas covered in the previous sessions.
Remind participants about safety rules and why working safely is important.
Change the next group of slides to present the PPE signs that are posted in the workplace.
Suggestions:
ask participants where these signs are posted.
ensure that workers know what they must DO when they see the sign – you want to be sure they can understand the safety requirement not just read or remember the words on the sign.
ask participants what PPE is associated with this sign.
At the beginning of this session take a few minutes to reflect on the areas covered in the previous sessions.
Remind participants about safety rules and why working safely is important.
Explain the term ‘manual handling’
Ask participants
why it is important to use the right equipment when moving something
how things are lifted in their work area (i.e. what lifting equipment do they have?)
Explain the types of things that can be moved manually and the important aspects of lifting properly:
location of feet
location of hands
position of the back
lifting with the legs
Demonstrate correct lifting technique

Use the next series of slides to present safe working behaviours identified as those that should be targeted in your training.
Use the tips in the trainers guide to change the slides to identify the safe working behaviours in the participants’ workplace
At the beginning of this session take a few minutes to reflect on the areas covered in the previous sessions.
Remind participants about safety rules and why working safely is important.
Identify the machines used in the workplace with the participants
Discuss the safety checks you need to complete to be working safely
Have a list of basic safety checks for machines in the workplace, and a copy of the safety instructions for each machine.
Ask participants what could happen if the various safety checks aren’t done
As a follow up activity consider conducting a safety check with each participant at their individual work station. This activity could help reinforce the learning and/or provide you with an opportunity to go over the material again.
The next series of slides present hazards and solutions. You might like to change the pictures to present examples from your workplace.
Suggestions:
identify the hazard
discuss what should be done
You might like to change the pictures to present examples from your workplace.
