WorkCover is taking its message that safe business is good business on the road with the launch of its brand new Safety Bus.
Unveiled on 10 March 2006 by NSW Minister for Commerce, John Della Bosca, the Safety Bus has been developed specifically to deliver education and advisory services to small businesses throughout NSW.
The Safety Bus is designed to make it easier for rural and regional businesses to make their workplaces safer and meet their workplace safety and workers compensation responsibilities.
Business Advisory Officers will accompany the Safety Bus and deliver tailored workshops and one-on-one advice at a time and place that meets local business needs.
The Safety Bus will also deliver a series of field days and Safety Solution Days in rural NSW throughout 2006.
Many small businesses have limited resources and are looking for help to ensure they meet their workplace safety, workers compensation and injury management obligations.
The WorkCover Safety Bus and Business Advisory Officers will play an important role in reaching small businesses in rural and regional NSW to provide assistance and fulfil their information needs.
