Summer brings with it increased risk of skin cancer, heat exhaustion and heat stroke in the workplace. This session on November 12 raised awareness of risks from exposure to heat, and discussed the roles and requirements of employers and employees in dealing with these.

Skin cancer awareness and prevention was discussed by Shannon Jones, Programs and Priority Populations Manager, SunSmart, Cancer Council Victoria.

General dangers from working in high temperatures, both indoors and outdoors, were discussed by Dominic Melling, OHS Unit Coordinator at Victorian Trades Hall Council.

Both speakers showed what employers need to be aware of and actions required to avoid harm to workers.

Designing good work


What if work wasn’t the problem but the solution to wellbeing? That is the premise of the fascinating book 'Good Work – Transform Your Work from the Inside Out', released earlier this year by organisational psychologist and leadership partner Dr Kat Page.

Central Safety Group offers you the opportunity to hear from Kat at our monthly event on Tuesday 10 November, where she will challenge the idea that work is inherently harmful.
Drawing on science, stories, and practical tools, Kat's book shows how leaders and teams can design work that’s both human and high-performing. This is based on a new framework for change: Me, We, Us.

Me – How do I redesign my own relationship with work so it fuels rather than depletes me?
We – How do we create teams that energise and protect each other?
Us – How do we build organisations and societies where good work is the norm, not the exception?

​Good Work is both a guide and a call to collective action. It’s written for leaders, change-makers, and anyone ready to change work for good – for themselves and for others.
Kat's book has been highly recommended by CSG members, including Kevin Jones. Don't miss your chance to meet Kat and join what is bound to be a very stimulating discussion.
