Too often, workplaces harm people, only to send them back into the same unsafe conditions. But it’s smarter—and more just—to design safe and healthy work environments from the start.The WIBA Act (2007) ensures protection after injury, but our real goal as OSH professionals is prevention. We work to reduce the need for WIBA by embedding safety and health into workplace culture.Decent work means more than fair wages—it means ensuring workers don’t risk their health to earn a living. WIBA supports recovery. OSH creates the conditions where recovery isn’t necessary.#workplaceinjury #mentalhealth #vision2030
