Flash Sale – 50% Discount

We are all back at work, and this year is already tumultuous; we can all use fresh perspectives on how we manage the health and safety of our workers. To help out and expand our OHS state of knowledge, I am offering a 50% discount on annual subscriptions to the SafetyAtWorkBlog for a short time.

We are currently producing at least 4 articles a week, so it’s a great value, and our library includes over 4,000 independently written articles.

From March 2 2026, to March 8 2026 , annual subscriptions are available to any new individual subscriber for A$125 (+GST) by clicking on this link, then the Credit Card button and entering this Code – SAWBFEB2026 – in the Annual payment screen. (Credit Card payments only. Australians only for the moment)

End-of-year report

Every social media app is now offering an end-of-year wrap-up. I can’t do that. I can’t tell you how often you accessed the blog, or which were your “favourite” articles. But I can thank you for your support and wish you a safe holiday break and 2026.

Here are some stats I can provide for the blog watchers. To date, the blog has published 222 articles in 2025, averaging over 4 per week. If someone asks whether an annual subscription is worth it, let them know that each article costs them just over one dollar each.

How did 2024 go?

At Christmas time, it is traditional for bloggers to reflect on the year past and to provide some basic statistics about their blog and readership. And thank the many loyal subscribers for their support.

The SafetyAtWorkBlog is a one-person operation that works out of usual business hours, supported by hundreds of dollars of media and legislative subscriptions and the occasional conference attendance. I try to provide exclusive content, and I thank my colleagues and subscribers who allow me access to many of their events that are closed to the public. With the parlous state of the media in Australia, I am often the only media presence at these events. I wish there were many more.

Happy Holidays and Thanks

It’s the end of 2022 and a busy year for the SafetyAtWorkBlog. As of the time of writing, there have been 192 articles this year, totalling 191,000 words ($1.40 per article for annual subscribers). 56,000 views, over 270 corporate and individual subscribers, and over 4,000 followers on Twitter and LinkedIn is a pretty good online profile for an activity produced in my “spare time”.

I hope you, my subscribers, have been informed and challenged by my contributions to the occupational health and safety state of knowledge. After a Christmas break, the SafetyAtWorkBlog will be back from mid-January 2023
