Читать книгу One Hundred Steps: A Practical Guide to the 100 Steps That Can Make Your Workplace Safer - Darren Inc. Kay - Страница 14

This is where you sacrifice your first tree for the sake of safety! Having a copy of the legislation serves two purposes. The first is that you can quickly reference the text when anyone begins quoting legislation at you, and conversely its nice to have with you if you intend to quote legislation at others. The second reason is that it demonstrates that you are serious about OHS. The law is a serious business, and anyone who is seen reading it earns a little credibility.

The legal framework is technically different for each State, but they generally are comprised of:

- The Occupational Health and Safety Act

- The Occupational Health and Safety Regulations

- Codes of Practice

- National Codes of Practice

- Guidance Notes

- Australian Standards

What to do right now: identify the legislation for the State you are operating in, and download the appropriate documents for printing and binding. Then, record a note in your OHS Journal to check for updates in about 12 months time.
