Are you ready for Harmonisation?
|
|
From the 1st of January of 2012, the Commonwealth, states and territories will enact uniform occupational health and safety laws.
Key Changes in the Law:
-
The new laws impose a duty on a "person conducting a business or undertaking" to "workers" as broadly defined, to ensure that workers and others are not exposed to a risk to their health or safety
-
The new laws also impose a positive duty upon "officers" (which includes directors of a company) to exercise due diligence to ensure compliance with OHS laws.
-
The penalties for breaching OHS laws have been also significantly increased.
8 things to check before 1 January 2012
-
Review your governance arrangements to ensure that your directors and senior managers have sufficient oversight over safety matters to meet their due diligence obligations
-
Ensure that your workers are informed of their new safety obligations
-
Determine whether you will need to elect health and safety representatives for appropriate groups of workers
-
Review your current OHS arrangements and conduct a gap analysis. Review the regulations and new codes of practice to determine what changes will need to be made to your OHS Management System
-
Review your consultation process in the organisation. Establish a right of entry protocol as union officials may enter the workplace, conduct safety inspections, speak to workers and inspect company records
-
Instruct site managers what to do if they have received a visit by a safety inspector and are issued with a notice
-
Plan a training program to communicate to your managers and workers the changes to your OHS Management System
-
Update your legal compliance register and review how you monitor compliance
