The Workplace Safety Network Group (formerly known as the Bankstown/Liverpool District Safety Group) has been in running since 1988 and was once one of several NSW groups established as a means of furthering workplace health and safety awareness to business, now it is the sole remaining group and changed its name in 2023 to reflect the broader nature of industries and geography that members come from.

The networking group is driven out of a need to keep abreast of workplace health and safety matters, regulatory and legislation updates that are critical to the successful running of any business to reduce the impact of work-related accidents/illnesses and claims, coupled with fines for breaches of legislation, can seriously affect an organisation's viability.

The Workplace Safety Network Group endeavours to meet these needs.

The Group meets on a monthly basis and generally includes a guest speaker on a range of workplace health and safety topics.

A short meeting to enable those present to share ideas and be informed of current issues follows this.

A problem-sharing segment and an update of the latest occupational health and safety legislation are key components of our meetings.

Representative from the state Regulator, SafeWork NSW, and Workplace safety and Industrial Relations lawyers, Kingston Reid, also attend to present at meetings in an advisory capacity, to present these legislative updates and assist with the  problems of those attending.
