WH&S Workshops - Perth
Work Health & Safety (OHS) Training Workshops – Perth
The introduction of the new Work, Health & Safety Act in Western Australia is expected in late 2012/13. The WA parliament has completed drafting the bill for general industry and is seeking public comment. This legislation is expected to replace existing OHS legislation.
The changes are such that most internal OHS systems wont comply with the new legislation. Is your OHS policy ready for the change?
The proposed new Work Health & Safety Act requires a positive demonstration of due diligence, a large paradigm shift from the traditional hazard based approach encourage by the current risk management standard and most existing OHS legislation.
Is your business ready for the change? Has the management team in your organisation reviewed the OHS policy of your organisation? Are you a responsible officer under the new legislation?
The new WHS Act should be on the agenda at your next Board meeting.
