Workplace SafetyEmployers in all States and Territories have a legal obligation to comply with Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) and Workers Compensation Laws. These laws and regulations in Australia are notoriously complex and many smaller enterprises have great difficulty understanding what exactly it is that they need to do. For businesses operating throughout multiple states and territories, the challenge to comply is even more complex.
|
Failure to comply with this basic legal obligation can lead to: severe business disruption; increased workers compensation premiums; heavy fines; and gaol sentences for responsible directors and managers. Yet, despite the best of intentions, many businesses simply do not have the resources required to track their way through the system to determine exactly what they should be doing to meet their legal obligations.
|
Every employer in Australia, no matter how small, has a legal obligation to:
|
 Consult with staff on health and safety issues
|
Provide training on health and safety issues
|
Identify and assess workplace hazards
|
Control or treat hazards that are identified
|
Maintain an injuries registers
|
CompliSpace demystifies workplace safety laws by delivering comprehensive and tailored OHS and Injury Management programs as well as a suite of work safe policies. Online training and testing material takes the pain out of employee induction, ensuring businesses meet their basic legal obligations with respect to consultation and training.
