Safety at work is a serious job, and we're stepping up.
Meet Stanley – star of SafeWork SA’s safety campaign
SafeWork SA has launched a major awareness campaign to remind South Australians that Safety at work is a serious job.
Star of the campaign is Stanley, an animated talking traffic cone who is passionate about workplace safety.
Stanley appears in everyday workplace settings to highlight three common and preventable hazards:
- Falls from heights
- Roll-away vehicles
- Spills
These hazards were chosen because they continue to cause significant harm in South Australian workplaces and are aligned to national work health and safety priorities.
Over the past four years, these hazards contributed to 21 deaths and a further 496 serious injuries that were reported to SafeWork SA.
The campaign reminds workers, employers and sole operators to put safety first, regardless of the industry in which they work.
It also provides practical information to help prevent a workplace injury and the lasting impact on the injured worker, family and colleagues.
Stanley is an important member of the SafeWork SA team and its goal of improving workplace safety.
