On the road again!

admin • May 26, 2026

BeSafe is hitting the road again! It’s been a super busy year or training across Victoria and we have been taking our training on the road to more regional and remote locations across our state than ever before.

We are committed to empowering Victorians to create safer and healthier workplaces, ensuring that every worker can return home physically and mentally well.

The BeSafe team are regional Victorians ourselves, so we also understand how difficult it can be to get training outside of the metro area. At the same time, we know too well that regional Victorians are the most vulnerable to unsafe workplaces, with regional areas being massively over-represented in the injury and fatality statistics year-on-year.

We truly believe that education saves lives, so we have made it our mission to make sure the All Victorians can access safety training without having to travel to the city. The more we all understand about safety, the greater chance we all have of making it home alive and well at the end of the day.


Our experienced trainers can come to you. We can even come to your workplace. We will also work with you to create courses anywhere in Victoria so that we can help you get the training you need.

So, if you need training in your area, or at your workplace, reach out and have a chat – we would love to hear from you!

BeSafe also offers free follow-up support after you have trained with us, so that you can always access the help you need.


At BeSafe, we believe that all Victorians should have equal access to high-quality, WorkSafe approved OHS knowledge and we are committed to help you to get the training you need – because safety training saves lives.
