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.

Over the years, the work of the Group has had the active support of local councils, government health and safety departments and such service clubs as Rotary.

Meeting monthly, the Group provides a network of support for organisations and people active in the field of health and safety; whether they be OHS professionals employed by member organisations, suppliers of safety products and equipment or OHS trainers or consultants.

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.
