The annual tour will kick off on Wednesday 1 October, with 19 face-to-face events across the state and 12 webinars to drive conversations about workplace safety.
Free expert-led sessions will give workers and employers the chance to learn about current trends and issues, with a spotlight on high risk industries including construction, manufacturing, agriculture, health care and social assistance, and the public sector.
WorkSafe Chief Executive Officer Ash West will feature in a webinar outlining WorkSafe's five-year strategy to reduce workplace deaths by 30 per cent, reduce workplace injuries by 20 per cent and improve return-to-work rates by 10 per cent.
Mr West encouraged employers and workers to take advantage of the opportunity to hear the latest advice and insights from health and safety experts across a range of industries.
"Health and safety advice evolves as industries adapt to the latest innovations, so Health and Safety Month provides fresh perspectives on important issues, even for experienced employers and workers," he said.
"Each session is aligned to WorkSafe's goals to reduce workplace harm and see more people returning to work, so we're confident the sessions will equip participants with the tools and knowledge they need to make positive change in their workplaces."
Webinars will include a range of subjects, including new psychological health regulations - to be introduced later this year - that will strengthen protections against psychosocial hazards in the workplace.
The regional roadshow will cover diverse topics and industries, including safer manual handling, supporting workers returning from injury, the importance of health and safety representatives, and managing dangerous goods.
Hosts and MCs, including former Geelong Cats captain Cameron Ling, will present the events in Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton and Geelong.
Safety on construction sites will be a focus of tradies' events at Horsham, Kyneton, Wallington and Hallam, while the National Centre for Farmer Health will host a session at Hamilton on safe livestock handling.
Registrations are now open for all events, with each session including a question and answer segment for participants to get advice on any workplace health and safety issues or concerns.
