2 A MESSAGE FROM OUR DEPUTY SECRETARY

A message from our Deputy SecretarySafeWork NSW, along with a number of other regulators in the Better Regulation Division, work together to put prevention, compliance and enforcement strategies into effect for all the legislation that we cover.

SafeWork’s collective efforts are directed towards those risks with the greatest potential to cause serious harm, delivered under a six-year strategy, the Work Health and Safety Roadmap for NSW 2022 (the Roadmap). Throughout the past year, we continued to make excellent progress and have set new ambitious goals for NSW. The targets have increased to 30 per cent decline in worker fatalities, 50 per cent decline in serious injuries and illness workers compensation claims and 50 per cent reduction in serious musculoskeletal injury and illness claims by 2022.

The 2019/20 SafeWork NSW Strategic Plan along with the Roadmap, provides a clear line of sight between SafeWork’s strategic objectives and the activities that will allow protection against harm, reduce unnecessary compliance costs and secure safety standards. The four strategic focus areas are:

• Enabling NSW workplaces to create a health and safety Landscape within their workplaces.

• Preventing harm by focusing on priority sectors, harms, workers and workplaces.

• Improving our regulatory approach by being exemplar and providing innovative services.

• Supporting our people and building capability.

There are clear priorities set for the next twelve months. These include a focus on engagement with customers particularly vulnerable workers and regional customers, improving the use of data and behavioural insights to drive positive customer improvements and measuring performance to understand that outcomes are achieved.

To deliver an exemplar regulatory approach we need to be credible, customer focused, innovative and collaborative. The commitments and initiatives included in the following Plan have been developed with stakeholders to support a coordinated approach to implementation and are supported by demonstrated performance measures. All key programs will include a focus on customer insight and will continue to measure and report on customer satisfaction in direct support of the NSW Government key priority “Making Government work better for you by putting the customer at the centre of what we do”.

As Deputy Secretary of Better Regulation Division, I’m proud to deliver this plan to provide modern and efficient services for the people of NSW and to demonstrate our performance.

OUR VISION Healthy, safe and productive working lives

OUR MISSION To implement and promote ‘right touch’ regulatory approaches to prevent work-related fatalities, serious injuries and illnesses

OUR VALUES Accountability Service Trust Integrity Respect

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

Contribute to a safe and confident NSW Community supported by Better Regulation

Our focus is on delivering services that are easy to access and designed collaboratively with our customers, partners and providers while enhancing work health and safety standards in NSW workplaces. By doing this we enable reduced costs, reduced risk and improved standards.

We work in partnership with other regulators as part of the Better Regulation Division under the Department of Customer Service to deliver a significant improvement in the ease of doing business in NSW. We aim to create a responsive regulatory environment to make NSW safe, fair and competitive for consumers, businesses and workers.

SafeWork NSW offers advice on improving work health and safety, provides licences and registration for potentially dangerous work, provides safety testing services, investigates workplace compliance and enforces work health and safety laws in NSW. We act to ensure the laws we administer are followed when necessary.

Insights and evidence drive the activities and actions of SafeWork NSW. The Centre for Work Health and Safety undertakes targeted research and analytics to inform regulatory services and practice. This research guides the development of practical initiatives to manage risk and drive down the numbers of workers being fatally or seriously injured in NSW.

We are dedicated to exemplar regulatory approaches that enable a competitive, confident and protected NSW. We will do this by ensuring our decisions are based on sound evidence and our services are centered on the needs of our customers. We are fair and transparent to secure the trust of the NSW community.

SafeWork NSW works alongside the State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) to support improved workers compensation and return to work practices in workplaces.
