Supporters

The Breathe Freely Australia campaign is an exciting opportunity for the AIOH and we want to encourage people and organisations spread the word. The Breathe Freely Australia Supporter logo can be used by AIOH members, service organisations as well as operational organisations that committed to improving OHS and protecting worker health.

Organisations with an ABN and a commitment to the Breathe Freely Australia objectives are invited to apply for Breathe Freely Australia Supporter status.  This would involve an exchange of logos between Breathe Freely Australia and the applicant organisation. There are no costs attached to this.

If granted, the Breathe Freely Australia logo, accompanied by the words Breathe Freely Australia Supporter could then be used on the organisation’s communication material, for example underneath letterheads or under signatures.

In return, Breathe Freely Australia will acknowledge the support of the applicant organisation by carrying their logo on the Breathe Freely Australia website, and on communication material, where appropriate.

Below are explanations of our two Supporter categories

Service Organisations or Individuals

This category would suit an organisation or an individual who provides services to protect workers’ health such as:

  • Suppliers of engineering solutions
  • Suppliers of PPE
  • Suppliers of air monitoring equipment
  • Providers of management advice or consultancy services on workplace air quality matters.

You are invited to download the form titled Service Organisations and Individuals, and complete and return to admin@aioh.org.au.

Operational Organisations

This would suit an organisation which has operations where the work can generate atmospheric contaminants (e.g. welding, sawing, cutting, drilling, pressurised spraying) or any industrial activity with potential to put chemical agents into the breathing zone of operators or by-standers.

The Breathe Freely Australia Supporters Pledge is a certificate you can also display in your workplaces which shows your commitment to actively protecting worker’s health from dust diseases.

You are invited to download the form titled Operational Organisations, and complete with details of the awareness and safe work practices you have implemented.
