National Safe Work Month: Safety First at Jet Plus Plumbing
October marks National Safe Work Month in Australia, a time to highlight the importance of workplace health and safety across all industries. At Jet Plus Plumbing, safety is not just a checklist item. It is central to everything we do. This includes fixing a burst pipe, installing a hot water system, or doing a backflow prevention test.
The Origin of National Safe Work Month
National Safe Work Month is an initiative led by Safe Work Australia. It began as a way to raise awareness about the importance of workplace health and safety and to encourage businesses, workers, and the community to make safer choices every day. Each October, industries across the country participate by promoting safety practices, sharing knowledge, and committing to reducing workplace risks.

Why Safety Matters in Plumbing
Plumbing isn’t just about fixing leaks or unblocking drains – it often involves high-risk work. Tasks like high-pressure hydro jetting, handling hot water systems, or working with gas fittings require strict safety measures. Without the right protective gear and safe practices, both plumbers and customers can be put at risk.
That’s why at Jet Plus Plumbing, our team always uses safety equipment such as gloves, masks, glasses, and protective clothing. For example:
- High-pressure hydro-jetting: We wear goggles, gloves, and safety boots to protect against flying debris and water spray.
- CCTV inspections: We use proper handling techniques and protective gear when working around sewer systems.
- Gas fitting & hot water services: Respiratory masks and heat-resistant gloves are used where required to minimise risk.
- Site work: We take designated breaks, set up safe work zones, and always follow Australian safety standards.
This practical commitment means our customers can trust that every job is carried out not only to the highest standard but also with the safety of people and property first.
