Occupational Health and Safety

Federal, State and Territory governments all have occupational health and safety legislation.

Compliance with OH&S legislation is mandatory and codes of practice provide employers with specific guidance in how to minimise the major areas of risk in business.

Consultation between employers and employees is generally required under OH&S legislation, and both (employers and employees) have responsibilities to maintain a safe and healthy work environment.
