Occupational Health and Safety - OHS

From defending WorkCover prosecutions, to conducting workplace safety audits to advising on legislation, Pendlebury Workplace Law can help you address all your OHS legal requirements and needs.

Our legal advice will ensure your compliance with applicable OHS National and State Legislation and Australian Standards.

Did you know that an employer:

• Has a duty of care to ensure the health and safety of employees at work;
• Has a duty to implement Risk Management strategies;
• Has the duty to supply appropriate OH&S legislated Training;
• Has a duty to consult employees on matters affecting their health and safety;
• Is required to Identify all foreseeable workplace hazards;
• Is required to Assess the risk arising from those hazards; and
• Eliminate the risk, or if not reasonably practicable to do so, control the risk, by implementing appropriate measures.

This duty of care has also been extended to controllers of the premises, manufacturers and designers of equipment and plant.

Our advice ensures a thorough understanding of obligations and delivers a road map to achieving compliance. To find out more about OHS contact our office today.
