October 2026 · National Safe Work Month 2026

Monthly Action Plan. One action a day.
Your starting point.

One full risk cycle over the month: look at the work, identify the hazards, consult the people doing it, change the work before you train the worker, then review and record. Each day ends with one line to write down, because the record is what a regulator asks for.

What you get

A working document, not a poster.

Every prompt is specific to the sector you choose: care minutes and lone home visits in aged care, aggression codes and moral distress in hospitals, deadlines, matrix reporting and hybrid isolation in offices. Every regulatory line is your state's own instrument, resolved from the same jurisdiction engine PsychProof runs on, so a Queensland plan cites the Queensland code and a Victorian plan cites the 2025 regulations.

It runs Monday to Friday, because the people who can change a roster, a control or a process are there on working days. The last page is the references, every statistic and every regulatory claim sourced, so the plan can go to a board, an HSR committee or an inspector without a caveat.

Every prompt is a possible action, not advice, a recommendation or a compliance determination. It is a starting point for your own judgement: what is reasonably practicable depends on your workplace, your workers and the instruments that apply to you, and nothing here replaces a risk assessment, consultation, or advice from someone who knows your organisation.

The October 2026 edition has sector-specific versions for aged care, healthcare, construction and trades, mining and resources, retail and hospitality, community and disability services, office-based and other workplaces. The current edition is free for everyone; monthly editions are included with PsychProof plans. Free to use and share within your organisation. General information, not legal advice.

Looking for the other free tools? Officer due diligence check and Psychosocial compliance check. Like this plan, both are starting points for your own judgement, not advice, a recommendation or a compliance determination.
