In 2005, the NSW Government held its second NSW Workplace Safety Summit.
The response to the 2002 summit led to major reductions in workplace injury and fatality in 2002–04, and the 2005 event aimed to sustain those improvements.
The summit enabled industry leaders and experts to:
- discuss information about significant areas of safety risk
- identify and prioritise safety issues
- develop strategies for addressing priority issues
- agree on goals and guiding principles to support prevention strategies.
In response to the summit, the NSW Government released a health and safety strategy for 2005–08.
The strategy provided a blueprint for action to reduce work-related injury and disease.
