A recent study has shown that around 50% of businesses are not adequately compliant with their Workplace Health and Safety Obligations. All organisations, including small businesses and not for profits are required to have a Work Health and Safety (WHS) framework to manage the safety and wellbeing of staff, visitors and contractors.

What happens when your business is not compliant with the Work Health Safety Act 2011 (the Act)?

Like all things in life, taking short cuts will eventually catch up with you. Businesses that ignore their work health safety duties risk heavy penalties (up to $3m), plus gaol time for decision makers, such as directors.

Don’t risk non-compliance to Australian workplace safety laws. Take our short survey to see if your business is compliant with the Work Health and Safety Act 2011:

☑   Do you regularly consult with all stakeholders within your business regarding Work Health and Safety?

☑   Have you identified and managed all hazards in your workplace?

☑   Are you providing your staff regular training, relevant to their day-to-day duties to keep them safe?

☑   Are you providing a framework for reporting incidents and managing emergencies such as first aid?

☑   Do you have evidence of compliance to WHS? This includes regular workplace inspection records, safety notices, and meeting minutes

If you have answered NO to any of the above, then you are not meeting your legal obligations under the Act.
