What are my obligations as an employer?
By law, you must provide a safe and healthy workplace for your workers and contractors.
This includes:
| |
providing and maintaining safe plant (such as machinery and equipment) and safe systems of work (such as controlling entry to high risk areas, controlling work pace and frequency and providing systems to prevent falls from heights)
|
| |
implementing arrangements for the safe use, handling, storage and transport of plant and substances (such as dangerous goods and harmful chemicals or materials)
|
| |
maintaining the safe condition of the workplace (such as ensuring fire exits are not blocked, emergency equipment is servicable, and general housekeeping) |
| |
providing workers and contractors with adequate facilities (such as clean toilets, cool and clean drinking water, and hygienic eating areas)
|
| |
making sure workers have adequate information, instruction, training and supervision to work in a safe and healthy manner. | |
