MarketSafe

Let’s all step up for a safer market

Whether you are new to the market or have worked here for a lifetime, prioritising safety never gets old. The MarketSafe initiative is designed to help us all get home safe and well. Organised by the themes of community, practices, vehicles and health & wellbeing, MarketSafe makes safety integral to the Melbourne Market. Downloadable resources are available below.

Community resources

It’s the people in the Market that make the community. This pillar focuses on the things we can do together and for each other.
