Stand Together for Safety 2026
In 2026, the theme is Safe Work is for Life – with a focus on Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs).
This year during October we are focussing on the risks that can lead to MSDs, and engaging frontline workers on how they can contribute to preventing harm by getting involved and taking the time to Stand Together for Safety.
Sprains, strains, back problems, and arthritis are the leading cause of workers' compensation claims in Australia, affecting over half of all serious workplace injury claims and impacting millions of people.
Our musculoskeletal system is the framework that helps us move, stand, and lift things. When part of this framework gets strained, worn out, or inflamed, it causes a musculoskeletal disorder or MSD.
We have published a resource pack to help you plan and rollout campaign this year.
This pack will help engage with frontline workers on how they can contribute to preventing harm by getting involved in:
- actively sharing their HSE knowledge, stories, and ideas,
- contributing to organisational learning by openly participating in HSE activities,
- recognising others for working in a psychologically safe and responsible way,
- taking ownership of HSE issues and sharing learnings.
The tools in this package are designed to help your frontline workforce be more aware about MSDs, and to recognise the risks that can lead to injury.
