National Safe Work Month is coming soon
This October, we're excited to bring you a full calendar of activities designed to boost your safety knowledge and readiness as we head into fire season.
Whether you’re at the station or in the office, our activities are designed to help make your CFA workplace safer and healthier.
Each weekday, you can participate in a variety of events - from interactive workshops to informative webinars - all aimed at enhancing your skills, increasing safety awareness and fostering a culture where health, safety and wellbeing are always top of mind.

Recognising our safety champions
Each year, a number of individuals go above and beyond in promoting a safe working environment for our members.
As part of this year’s National Safe Work Month, we will be recognising the outstanding efforts of a volunteer and staff Safety Champions from each region.
Nominations for Safety Champions will be made by our DCOs and Health and Safety Advisors, and the selected individuals will be announced at the end of National Safe Work Month.
