Workplace Health and Safety Fundamentals

Essential Workplace Health and Safety Fundamentals for Compliance and Care

Hazards and risks to health and safety can occur for all workers and employees in all workplaces, meaning poor health and safety procedures can potentially result in harm and injury. As such, all members of the workforce have a duty of care to ensure a safe working environment.

Learning Outcomes

This workshop is based on work health and safety legislation which includes the Work Health and Safety Act (WHS Act) and the Work Health and Safety Regulations (WHS Regulations). It provides an understanding of health and safety responsibilities, how risk is managed using the risk management process, and should be expected to be found in the workplace to help work safely. Additionally, it explores common workplace hazards and how to reduce the risks associated with those hazards.

Who This is For

This topic is suitable for all employees covered by the Model Work Health and Safety laws (WHS Act and WHS Regulations) which includes employees in Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, Tasmania, Northern Territory and South Australia. For employees in Victoria the ‘Workplace health and safety fundamentals (Victorian WHS Laws)’ workshop may be more appropriate.
