Safety Tips for Meat Workers

The development of the OHS booklet was managed by the AMIEU Newcastle and Northern Branch as part of a project funded under the WorkCover NSW WorkCover Assist Program. 

The book itself has little value if what it contains is not read and understood by workers in the aforementioned sectors. It is for this reason that attempts have been made to simplify some of the often technical jargon associated with the management of workplace risks.

The member for Page, Janelle Saffin, is welcoming this morning's news on a live cattle export ban.

The Federal government will today announce a ban on all live cattle exports to Indonesia until further notice.

The move is in response to the public outcry after the ABC Four Corners program aired footage of the brutal slaughter of Australian cattle in a number of Indonesian abattoirs.

Ms Saffin says Australian slaughter standards should be met by Indonesia.
