The Western Safety Group has been operating since 1957 as a forum for sharing information and knowledge on occupational health and safety.

The Group is a voluntary, non - profit organisation, comprising companies, organisations and individuals from the western region of Melbourne.  These organisations and individuals come together through a common interest in promoting and developing health and safety at work and a willingness to work together to achieve this.

The regular meetings allow guest speakers to supply members with information on topics ranging from updates on legislative changes to systems for achieving better health and safety performance and management and other areas of concern in the field of occupational health and safety.  Additionally, site visits organised by the Group give members the chance to see how other organisations are meeting their OHS objectives and learn a little of what these organisations do.

 

Loading/Unloading Exclusion Zone Project

WorkSafe Victoria is conducting a major campaign to reduceaccident and injury claim rates in the road freight transport sector.

Associated with this effort, a focus group consisting ofrepresentatives from WorkSafe, TWU and the Transport/Manufacturing industries(K&S Freighters, Onesteel, Linfox, and AkzoNobel) are conducting a Loading/ Unloading Exclusion Zone (LUEZ) Project.

No company / organisation data is collected at all in the Survey,and only aggregated data will be used and published in the Survey results. Youare also free to distribute the survey to other company contacts you havewithin Victoria that you believe may be able to make a worthwhile contributionto the survey.

The aim of the LEUZ Project is to develop a package ofbest-practice industry guidance material

to be made available widelyto all industries, encompassing transport companies, operators of

DCs,consignors & consignees and manufacturing & processing operations
