🚨 New Resources from WorkSafe WA to Empower Bystanders Against Workplace Sexual Harassment 🚨   WorkSafe WA has released valuable resources to help bystanders take action if they witness sexual harassment in the workplace. Taking a stand can create a safer and more supportive environment for everyone. Here’s how you can make a difference:   🔹 Call it Out: If you feel comfortable, address the harasser directly. Your voice can discourage unacceptable behaviour.   🔹 Join the Conversation: Show support by speaking up to try to de-escalate the situation, but only if you feel safe and comfortable.   🔹 Check In: Reach out to the affected individual afterward to offer support.   🔹 Report the Behaviour: With permission from the affected person, report the incident to your employer or PCBU to ensure accountability.   Explore WorkSafe WA’s new resources to understand how bystanders can take meaningful action to create safer, more respectful workplaces. Empower yourself to make a positive difference. ✊ #StandUp #Respect #WorkSafeWA #NationalSafeWorkMonth2024

Understanding Musculoskeletal Injuries in the Workplace Musculoskeletal injuries refer to any injury or disease affecting the musculoskeletal system. Common examples include: 👩🏻⚕️ Sprains and strains of muscles, ligaments, and tendons 👩🏻⚕️ Back injuries 👩🏻⚕️ Nerve injuries or compression (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome) 👩🏻⚕️ Injuries from hand-arm vibration It's important to know how these risks are being managed in your workplace. Talk to your employer today about what measures are in place to prevent musculoskeletal injuries. #Nationalsafeworkmonth2024 #MusculoskeletalHealth #InjuryPrevention #WHS

Preventing Musculoskeletal Injuries: More Than Just Training Both physical and psychosocial hazards can lead to musculoskeletal injuries. While training is important, it alone cannot fully manage these risks. The most effective way to prevent musculoskeletal injuries is by designing work in a way that minimises or eliminates hazards. This involves thoughtful design of tasks, equipment, workspaces, and systems to reduce the risk of harm. By creating a safer work environment, you help protect your team from injury and promote long-term well-being. #Nationalsafeworkmonth2024
