WORKPLACE HEALTH & SAFETY STRUCTURE

QUEENSLAND

You wear a seat belt in your car…..

Good WH&S is a seat belt for your business

PROTECT YOURSELF, YOUR EMPLOYEES & YOUR BUSINESS

GET WH&S SMART

You as a manager and/or owner are obligated under the

Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995

Do you have Workplace Health and Safety Policies and Procedures in your workplace?

• Do you know that you are required by law to provide a safe work environment for your staff?
• Do you know that you are obligated under the Workplace Health and Safety Act to ensure your staff are trained in WH&S procedures?
• Do you know you are required by law to keep records of WH&S training, inductions and policy/procedure management?

You and your managers ARE personally liable and responsible for providing a safe workplace

You can be fined or in major incidents jailed. Your managers and employees can also be held accountable for not reporting or acting in relation to safety.

Even a small incident can add considerable cost and inconvenience to your business, be proactive and limit the consequences of workplace accidents by making your workplace a safe place

What is the maximum penalty?

Breaching the law is serious; it may be the difference between life and death.

Therefore penalties are substantial.
