Campaign overview

SafeWork SA is launching a series of industry-specific compliance campaigns targeting the priority industries of Agriculture, Construction, Manufacturing, Transport, Forestry and Healthcare.

From 1 July 2025, the campaigns will include site visits and compliance audits to detect and deter unsafe workplace behaviour.

The agency’s presence on worksites is increasing with 4486 recorded site visits and 4038 statutory notices issued in the first nine months of this financial year.

SafeWork SA is coming down hard on serious offenders, securing 16 convictions so far in 2024-25, double that of last year, resulting in fines totalling $2.250 million.

The WHS National Strategic Plan 2023-2033 identified Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing; Construction; Transport, Postal and Warehousing; Manufacturing, and Healthcare and Social Assistance as national priority industries.

SafeWork SA offers a free advisory service to businesses seeking to improve WHS in their workplace.
