SafetyNet 531

Welcome to another ISO edition of SafetyNet. We hope you are all taking care, whether working from home or at work.

Tragically, in the week when we marked International Workers Memorial Day, another two Victorian workers were killed at work.  These fatalities demonstrate that despite what may be happening with the pandemic, many workers are still facing serious workplace hazards. Please remember that if you need any assistance or advice, contact your union. Further, we remind you that everyone at the VTHC is still available to answer queries and help in any way we can. This includes the OHS Unit, the Young Workers Centre, the Migrant Workers Centre, the Women's and Equity Team and everyone else.

To keep up to date and informed between editions of the journal, go to our We Are Union: OHS Reps Facebook page. 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.
