Lest We Forget
#RememberanceDay #lestweforget2021 #Respect
October is National Safe Work Month—a time to commit to building a safe and healthy workplace. This October think safe. work safe. be safe.
Today is R U OK Day - and this year, more than ever we need to check in with our nearest and dearest to see… are they really OK?
It’s been a really tough time for many in our community, especially those who are separated from family or who live alone.
That’s why today we are encouraging everyone to jump on the phone or computer and call, text, FaceTime, Zoom - whatever it might be - and check in with your loved ones.
‘Rail Safety Week’ although the onus is probably on health at the moment. Both are equally important. We at SWIETELSKY Rail Australia Pty Ltd will certainly be focusing on both. Stay safe, stay healthy.

When starting a conversation, follow these four simple steps:
