From the Editor
More than 75,000 Victorians have warm , colourful feet this month thanks to ESV and the Herald Sun .
We ’ ve given away 75,000 pairs of red and blue slipper socks as part of our annual campaign to promote the importance of gas heater servicing and the dangers of carbon monoxide .
Herald Sun readers who bought a paper on Saturday , 11 June , received a bonus pair of our socks , which come with a reminder card that stresses the importance of regular appliance servicing .
It ’ s six years since the tragic deaths of Chase and Tyler Robinson in their Mooroopna home , and ESV remains as committed as ever to raising awareness about this silent killer and ensuring that no other family endures the heart-breaking loss of a loved one .
We don ’ t want any Victorians to get cold feet this winter , so if you ’ d like a free pair of our socks , email us at info @ esv . vic . gov . au and we ’ ll send you a pair .
We had a great response to our new electrical safety campaign DIY = DIE when it was launched in Shepparton in May .
While we unveiled it in regional areas first in
response to the two recent farm deaths , we will be rolling it out across metropolitan areas in the new financial year so you ’ ll be seeing a lot more of this campaign .
The imagery seems to have struck a chord with the striking screwdriver ad shared 20,000 times on Facebook in the week after the campaign launched . Thanks to everyone who helped us spread this important message .
It seems a lot of us know DIYers who should be calling in the professionals when a job needs to be done .

New website coming for ESV
By Anitra Robertson , Marketing and Communications Advisor
ESV is excited to announce its website is being redeveloped and a new version is expected to be launched later this year .
The current ESV website is in need of a refresh and you may recall that late last year we asked for some feedback in our biennial stakeholder survey .
The feedback we received has helped us understand what is important to you . For example , some people told us it can be hard to move around the website and find what is needed quickly and easily .
The new ESV website will use the latest web technology to provide the best possible user
experience , making it easier to interact with ESV and find the information you are looking for .
It will be optimised for mobile and tablet devices so you can easily get the information you need when you are out and about .
Our team has spent the past few months undertaking preparatory work for the website redevelopment and we are about to launch into the development phase .
It ’ s not too late to share your ideas ! If there is something you would like to see on the new website or something we could improve for you , now is a great time to let us know .
Email us with your website suggestions to info @ esv . vic . gov . au
