WorkSafe Victoria is inviting small business owners in Ballarat, Geelong, Traralgon, Shepparton and Warrnambool to attend free workshops to speak one-on-one with OHS experts.

As part of the Small Business Festival, WorkSafe will host the events where business owners will have the opportunity to speak with a panel of safety consultants, inspectors and insurance agents on any issue relating to workplace safety and workers' compensation.

The panel will provide information on OHS laws and employer obligations in helping injured workers return to work, and assist with any specific questions business owners may have.

The workshops also provide participants with the opportunity to apply for a free, independent and tailored safety assessment through WorkSafe's OHS Essentials Program.

Due to seating limitations, bookings must be made in order to attend. To find out more and reserve a place, click here.

RAEDER-VOGEL
Innovative high-quality wheels and castors for the forklift industry.

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale. You go to Yahoo!, MSN, or maybe AOL, and start the mind-numbing process of finding your very specific needle in the digital haystack. And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.  

To everyone who has connected with Forkliftaction in the past 25 years, thank you for your contribution to our success! We feel deeply touched by your words of encouragement.
