Ensuring you and your team arrive home safely each evening is more than a worn-out cliché those in the Work Health & Safety (WHS) arena throw around.
Benevolently, everyone of course wants others to be safe and healthy.
Legally, a WHS breach is a criminal offence for a business owner, operator or manager of any kind.
You know this. But where do you start?
And if you tug at that thread, are you going to end up buried in paperwork and bound up in red tape?
Are you cautious of WHS consultants who might have seemed dogmatic and completely impractical in the past?
Are you nervous that you’ve had your head in the sand for too long – and want someone to take you through the basics of your obligations, and into practical and pragmatic actions; to walk away with a checklist of the fundamentals and a clear idea of what to do next, and who to lean on for support?
Do you have some ‘silly questions’ around WHS that you’ve been afraid to ask, or not sure who you can ask?
Presented by Kathy Clarkson, Director of Key Consultation Solutions, our “What the Heck of WHS” session is designed to give you:
- a broad understanding of health and safety in the workplace, and your obligations / duties under the Work Health & Safety Act 2011 (NSW)
- an understanding of the basic terminology and roles under WHS, including PCBU, Officers, Workers and Others
- a checklist of fundamentals common across all industries, as a place for you to start, and / or be confident you have the basics nailed
- practical steps you can take to discharge your primary duty of care and other duties, without getting tied up in red tape
- where to seek ongoing support and / or industry-specific guidance
- opportunity to ask those ‘silly questions’ in a safe environment, with a room full of peers who are likely wondering the same things!
