Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy 2012-2022
The Australian Strategy provides a framework to drive improvements in work health and safety in Australia. It promotes a collaborative approach between the Commonwealth, state and territory governments, industry and unions and other organisations to achieve the vision of healthy, safe and productive working lives.
The Australian Strategy is a framework to help improve work health and safety in Australia. Its vision is healthy, safe and productive working lives. It promotes collaboration between the Commonwealth, state and territory governments, industry, unions and other organisations to reach the vision.
The Australian Strategy includes:
• Purpose and Principles – what the Australian Strategy is for
• Vision – what could be achieved by collective and sustained efforts in all the Action Areas
• Outcomes for 2022 – guide activities under the Action Areas
• Targets and performance indicators – what is intended to be achieved by 2022 and how these will be measured over the life of the Australian Strategy
• Action Areas with strategic outcomes – these focus on areas where activities are most likely to collectively achieve the vision
• Priority Industries and Disorders – identified for national action because of the high numbers and rates of workers affected or the inherent hazardous nature of these industries
• Implementation and Reporting – describes who will implement the Australian Strategy, and how we will share information about what is happening under the Australian Strategy, and
• Australian Strategy Infographic – shows the relationship between the vision, the outcomes and the action areas.
Work health and safety regulators, industry bodies, unions and other major national bodies such as educational and professional associations are working to implement the Australian Strategy and help reach its targets.
The Australian Strategy follows the National Occupational Health and Safety Strategy 2002-2012. Supporting work health and safety strategies is a key function of Safe Work Australia.
