Toolbox and team meetings just got easier with LGIS' new suite of Safety & Wellbeing Toolbox resources. They're a resources to help our members meet their duty of care and make sure that your people know how to manage common risks and look after their own personal wellbeing.

Developed by LGIS' experts these new resources address common issues for local government workers. There are over ten resources scheduled to be released in 2024, with the first five addressing:

• Exercise and personal fitness
• Hydration
• Noise management
• Being sun smart
• Manual task awareness

These resources include an A4 information sheet which can be used for discussion and A3 posters which can be rotated as you focus on a different topic.

All of the Safety & Wellbeing Toolbox resources can be downloaded from the website under Risk management > People risk management > People risk resources.

Safer workplaces with regular safety talks

Effective consultation is a key tool to improve awareness of risks and improve overall safety. Regular safety meetings are a tool used by many local governments to help meet regulatory requirements to consult and inform employees on work, health and safety issues.

For more information about the new Safety & Wellbeing Toolbox resources talk to the LGIS injury prevention or people risk team, or your regional risk coordinator.
