Tradies National Health Month
APA national advertising campaign:
Choose physio for tradies health
Tradies National Health Month raises awareness of the health and injury risks affecting those who work in trade occupations-among tradies themselves, their families, employers and the wider community. With statistics showing almost 3 in 5 serious workplace injuries involve a tradie-despite making up only 35 per cent of the workforce-tradies’ health must be everyone’s priority. Help us spread the message and keep Aussie tradies healthy.
Use these tips and resources to encourage tradies to look after their most valuable asset - their health.
Thank you to our supporters/partners:
Consumer website
The Tradies National Health Month website provides good, consumer oriented information about why tradies health is so important. Tradies can access information about common injuries and what steps they can take to reduce the risks of getting injured at work, including safe lifting techniques and information for employers.
Tradies health survey results
Leading into this year’s campaign, we sought a fresh understanding of the health attitudes, concerns and injury experience of today’s tradies. We survey a cross section of Australia’s tradies, exploring their attitudes and perceptions surround health and fitness, their jobs, history of injuries at work and treatment as well as consequences to employment and health as a result of not seeking treatment
