“The 5Cs to Taking a Bulletproof Injured Worker Recorded Statement”
Fourteen applications were received this year, highlighting issues as diverse as minimizing vicarious trauma amongst health workers to maximizing the safety of women at work who disclose incidences of domestic violence.
A $10,000 award to Janet Giles and Anne Purdy will address the work health and safety risks posed by paid work sleep-overs for social and community services workers.
A $10,000 award to Dr. Olivia Lockwood and Andy Roberts will finalize the development of strategies to reduce common injuries to sonographers in their work performing ultrasound examinations, to be undertaken at the SA Biomedical Engineering, Research and Teaching Department at Flinders Medical Centre.
“I congratulate everyone who applied for this year’s awards, particularly for their creative responses to identifying and addressing health and safety issues for South Australia’s working women,” said SafeWork SA Executive Director, Marie Boland.
“The diversity of applications demonstrates the complexity of the issues faced by our modern workforce, particularly for women in the health and community services sector,” Boland added.
