OHS

What is OHS?

Every worker has the right to a safe workplace. When they go to work each day, they should fully expect to return home uninjured and in the same state of health as they left.

Occupational health and safety involves complete physical, mental and social well-being within a workplace.

The union movement

Ensuring safe and healthy workplaces has always been one of the fundamental roles of unions. Unions believe that when people come together, great results can be achieved.
