We want your views on how we can increase the focus on 'health' in work health and safety. If you work in NSW, help us understand your experience so we can create a safer workplace future.

In NSW, employers must follow work health and safety laws to protect workers from injury and illness. As how and where we work changes over time, it’s important we continually improve our approach to workplace health and safety.

SafeWork NSW wants to understand how businesses could adopt an integrated Healthy Work approach, where:

• work is designed and managed in a way that does not cause harm
• work has benefits to the physical and psychological health, safety and wellbeing of workers.

Safer and more productive

SafeWork NSW proposes seven principles to guide discussion and inform our future Healthy Work Plan for NSW.

1. Healthy Work is good for business
2. Leadership is fundamental to creating Healthy Work
3. Creation of Healthy Work relies on worker participation
4. Design work to be healthy
5. Healthy Work can positively influence lives
6. A strategic coordinated approach is required to achieve Healthy Work
7. Healthy Work is built on a foundation of safety.

Share your feedback on the Healthy Work Principles and how we can support you to design Healthy Work.

Tell us what you think

We want to hear from business owners, managers, work health and safety professionals, human resources professionals or anyone interested in improving how we think about health and safety.

You can have your say by completing the survey, sharing an idea, joining a discussion forum, or any combination of these.

Your feedback will help us understand how your industry or organisation could adopt Healthy Work, so our Healthy Work Plan includes a range of people's views.

Privacy collection notice

This consultation is for SafeWork NSW, Department of Customer Service.

Have your say consultations are run by the NSW Department of Customer Service (McKell Building, 2-4 Rawson Place, Haymarket NSW 2000).

We are interested in hearing from the community and will use the information we collect from you to help develop the programs and services that NSW Government provides.

We are collecting only minimal personal information from you. We may collect basic information like your name and contact details, if you choose to provide them. You may provide some personal information in response to questions that we ask you. For example, we may ask you about your experiences or opinions about a particular topic.

Having your say is voluntary and you are not legally required to provide any personal information to us. For some consultations, though, you will not be able to have your say unless you agree to include your personal information.

If you do provide personal information to us, you have a right to access it, and can ask us to correct it if it is wrong.

We may share personal information you provide with other parts of the Department of Customer Service (for example, with our Data Analytics Centre) so that we can conduct analysis across all consultations and refine our engagement methodology.

Where we conduct a consultation on behalf of a partner agency, we would usually share the information that we collect with that agency. In this instance, we are running this consultation with SafeWork NSW.

For privacy information about your use of the NSW Government website generally, please see the NSW Government’s website privacy statement.
