Work Health and Safety Responsibilities

We have implemented a safety role for the workers that allows you to be involved and contribute to the identification of Hazards and the consideration of control measures for risks associated with Principal Hazards, that are relevant to your work or the work you will be carrying out. Additionally, you will also be involved in the periodic review of Principal Hazard Management Plans.

As the Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) (your employer) shall ensure so far as is reasonably practicable:

• The health and safety of you and other workers while at work. and
• Other persons (visitors and volunteers) are not put at risk from work carried out as part of the business activities.
