TALK SAFETY is Australia's only dedicated website forum set up entirely to increase discussion on the myriad of important issues within and around the focus of occupational health and safety and related matters.

Freedom of speech must be tolerated, and everyone using this forum must accept that they may be challenged in their own beliefs on issues, or indeed be offended, and that is something which they must simply endure. Comments on issues are therefore unmoderated, but do not necessarily reflect the views of Talk Safety.

We request that all those who participate in discussion do so with respect, and maintain due separation of topic and person. Comments that are off-topic, gratuitously offensive, libelous, or otherwise irritating, may be summarily deleted. However, the fact that particular comments remain on any thread does not constitute their endorsement by Talk Safety; it may simply be that we considers them to be intelligent and erudite contributions to OH&S discourse.
