 Hey, you got a moment? Did you know that every day 12.5 million people leave home and go to work? And every day, every one of those 12.5 million workers expects to come home safely. Except that last year, 182 didn't. 182 people died at work. At work. And that's just not acceptable. Everyone has the right to be healthy and safe at work, no matter what industry they work in. This October is National Safe Work Month, and so we're asking you to take a moment, a safety moment, to think about how safe your workplace is. I'm a farmer, grew up on the land, so I know the risks. When you've got machines and animals, and who knows what else, farming's one of the most dangerous jobs going around. I drive trucks. Probably don't need to say much else. Fatigue, odd hours, time pressures, bad roads, bad drivers. And that doesn't even cover the gases in the fumes. It's risky. I work in a factory, you know, making all those things you buy every day. You wouldn't reckon it'd be that dangerous. But I tell you, working with equipment or carrying stuff, or sometimes just trying not to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, you've got to be careful. I don't need to tell you about construction. I'm a builder, and when you mix people, machines, tools, chemicals, and working at heights, it's no wonder we've got to be sharp on sight. And when it's busy, you know what that means. It's dangerous. I'm a chef. Now, while you're out there enjoying yourself, we're out back making it happen. They're not wrong about the heat in the kitchen. But try adding knives, chemicals, slippery floors, and a lot of stress. And, well, people don't always make the right decisions. Now, I'm a corrections officer. I like to think we're here to protect the community, just like the police or the fireys or the envoys. So we've got a different bunch of risks where we work. Assaults, stress, even the internal stuff, it can still kill you. Being a nurse, we literally never know what we're going to have to deal with next. Working with patients puts us in danger of infection, cross-contamination, even physical assault. You can never relax. So this October, take a moment to stop and think about the hazards and risks in your workplace and take a moment to talk in your workplace about how best to control them. Because a moment is all it takes for someone to be seriously injured or even killed. So take a moment now and commit to building safer and healthier workplaces for all Australians.
