Injury prevention works best when it’s built into everyday business, not treated as a separate task. That’s the thinking behind the Injury Prevention and Management (IPaM) program, delivered by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland.
The IPaM program helps businesses move beyond reactive responses and toward a more mature safety management system that drives long-term change. It’s practical, grounded, and focused on what works.
What the IPaM program offers
IPaM provides free, practical guidance tailored to your specific business, worksite and operational needs.
Through dedicated advisors, the program works with your business to:
- identify clear health, safety and injury management objectives
- review current systems and practices
- highlight areas for improvement
- develop a structured, achievable action plan
- support implementation and continuous improvement
This is not a one-size-fits-all program -it’s structured, collaborative support designed around how your business actually operates.
Almost 4,000 Queensland businesses have already taken part and the outcomes speak for themselves:
- Reduced injury and claim rates
- Lower claim costs
- Stronger return to work outcomes
- Improved worker participation
- More mature and sustainable safety management systems
When injury prevention is embedded into daily operations- planning, supervision, training, and leadership – it becomes part of your culture. That’s where real improvement happens.
