Harmonisation of Work Health and Safety Legislation - Consultation

31st of Aug 2011

Employers will need to ensure that their OHS documentation reflects the changes of the harmonised Work Health and Safety legislation. Consultation under the new legislation has been expanded to engage all persons that will have an impact on health and safety or those affected by a business. The WHS legislation requires consultation, as far as reasonably practicable, with both workers and other duty holders and can be achieved through a variety of mechanisms. This will require consultation with a broader range of parties such as contractors, subcontractors and employees of labour hire companies. Business Savvy Risk Management can assist you in developing or reviewing your current OHS documentation and provide the necessary resources to ensure conformance.

Business Savvy can provide assistance with the harmonised legislation as well as other work health and safety related aspects of your business such as:

  • OHS Audits
  • OHS Risk Assessments
  • OHS Management System Implementation
  • Customised policies and employee manuals
  • Assistance in maintaining the required documentation under the WHS legislation including incident or accident reporting

A full list of our extensive OHS and HR services is available here; we can provide assistance to businesses in both Australia and New Zealand.
