Prevention advice concerning workplace fatalities is now available within days of an accident. The SafetyLine Internet service provides summaries of fatal accidents and significant incidents, information on manual handling and chemical safety, workplace injury statistics, occupational safety and health legislation, regulations, codes of practice, guidance notes, and prevention brochures. Employers and employees at workplaces connected to internet are able to call up these products on a computer screen and print as many copies as they wish. The Internet provides virtually limitless opportunity for delivery. Western Australia is the only state to provide such a service.
Users are able to link with occupational safety and health information services around the world.
The service will be valuable to employers, employees, health and safety representatives, health and safety committees, health and safety professionals, trainers, consultants and students. Copies of this publication may be freely printed and distributed provided that WorkSafe Western Australia receives appropriate acknowledgement and that no substantial changes are made to the text.
