WHS legislation in each State and Territory have requirements that apply to all workplaces. More recently with the introduction of new legislation the approach is to harmonise work health and safety laws throughout Australia. The new legislative framework which consists of a model Work Health and Safety Act and Work Health and Safety Regulation has been adopted by each State and Territory, excluding Victoria & Western Australia who are yet to agree on its implementation. The objective of the new WHS legislation is to ‘provide for a balanced and nationally consistent framework to secure the health and safety of workers and workplaces’.
Work health and safety legislation requires businesses to establish a process for consulting with its workers on work health and safety issues that may affect them and to adopt a risk management approach by identifying and eliminating or controlling risks to health and safety so far as is reasonably practicable.
With new legislation Act, WHS applies to persons conducting a business or undertaking who have a duty under the Regulations to manage risks to health and safety. It requires duty-holders to identify hazards, apply and maintain a hierarchy of risk control measures and, in specified circumstances, review those risk control measures.
