About Us
The objective of the Safety Institute of Australia is to promote the safety and health of people. The Institute believes that the distictive advice of qualified and experienced safety and health practitioners is a prerequisite to the specification of the safety and health responsibilities of government, employers and community organisations. We aim toward the highest possible standards of safety and health, at work, on the road, at play and at home.
The Institute began in 1949 when the first group of students in the Industrial Safety and Accident Prevention course at Melbourne Technical College formed the Industrial Safety Research Group. Within 15 years, a Division had been formed in each State.
In 1954, the name was changed to Safety Engineering Society and in 1977, the Society became the Safety Institute of Australia, Inc.
Over nearly half a century, the Institute has grown from a few students to a national professional body with some eighteen hundred members.
