The theme demonstrates that anyone, both employers and workers from any occupation or industry, can be a champion for work health and safety.

Throughout the month, Safe Work Australia is encouraging everyone to take a moment to consider safety in their workplace.

Safe Work Australia Chair, Diane Smith-Gander, said that taking a safety moment can be as simple as spending a few minutes every morning talking with your team about the hazards and risks in your workplace, and the ways to prevent harm.

"A safety incident can happen in a moment and in any workplace, but a moment's forethought can prevent harm," she said.

"Anyone can do this, from the worksite to the boardroom, from those on the factory floor to the CEO.

"Everyone can contribute to making their workplace safer and healthier."

The National Safe Work Month website has resources to help you raise awareness of health and safety in your workplace.

"Last year in Australia, 191 people died while doing their job and more than 106,000 people made a claim for a serious injury," Ms Smith-Gander said.

"No industry should be unsafe to work in and no death or any injury is acceptable. This October, take a moment to consider what workplace safety means to you."
