My work is unsafe

Your right to workplace health and safety
All workers have a right to a safe workplace and to go home from work without injury. Employers have a legal duty to provide a safe work environment. Contact us if you see something that doesn’t look right, or think your employer is not managing health and safety risks adequately.

Health and Safety Reps
Health and Safety Representatives are elected in your workplace to promote safety at work. If you have a HSR at work, report your concerns to them. The United Workers’ Union supports workers to elect Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) and runs HSR training across Australia.

NOT A MEMBER OF YOUR UNION YET?

UWU acknowledges that we meet and work on the unceded lands of First Nations peoples.
We wish to pay respect to their Elders — past and present — and acknowledge the important role all First Nations peoples continue to play within Australia and in our union.

Our website is hosted on 100% carbon neutral servers in Naarm (Melbourne). The United Workers Union is committed to creating the secure & future-proof jobs workers and their communities need as our country continues to transition to a net zero economy.
