WORKPLACE HEALTH & SAFETY COURSE OVERVIEW
Health and safety in a workplace is governed by the work health and safety legislation and guidance of the State or Territory in which it is located. Under the legislation, a duty of care is imposed on all workers and/or persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) in the workplace.
The Workplace Health and Safety legislation means that all people in a work place have a responsibility for their own safety in the workplace - employers, workers and persons conducting a business or undertaking. In effect, this means everyone and anyone doing something in the workplace from the Managing Director to a third-party delivery driver.
Persons conducting a business or employers also have an obligation to provide training on WHS matters to their workers.
