You're invited to discover WorkSafe's purpose to reduce workplace harm as Victoria's occupational health and safety regulator.

How to support injured Victorians back to work
10.30am to 11.20am
An interactive case study on a worker who has been injured at work and as a result has submitted a workers compensation claim for a mental injury. We will discuss an employer's Return to Work planning obligations, with a focus on how to balance both the mental injury and meeting obligations. This presentation will also provide the audience with the opportunity to ask questions about planning for a workers return to work.

Join WorkSafe's Occupational Hygienists as they discuss what the recent changes to welding fumes exposure standards mean. You'll also hear about what controls are available to help reduce your exposure to welding fumes.
