As a business owner you must meet the Work Health and Safety requirements set out in the acts, regulations and codes of practice in your state or you may face penalties if you don’t meet them.
The Acts outline legal responsibilities and duties of an employer. These are referred to as WHS – Workplace Health and Safety or OHS – Occupational Health and Safety Acts.
Courts decide whether OHS laws have been met. They consider whether you have followed the correct approved codes of practice.
As a business owner you have a range of responsibilities under these regulations. The impacts of a failure under these regulations can have a significant influence upon the corporation, individuals and officers. In addition to protecting the safety of your workers you must also ensure that other people such as drivers, visitors and the general public are not exposed to risks as a result of your business.
