Course Outline
Business SA’s WHS for Officers course outlines the obligations and key responsibilities identified Officers have under the Work Health and Safety Act, together with clarity around their duty as an Officer to help ensure due diligence in the workplace.
Key responsibilities include understanding Workplace Health and Safety legislation, defining relevant duties within the organisation, enforcing reasonably practicable regulations, understanding codes of practice and the impact for failing to comply with legal requirements to ensure a safe workplace.
Officers who fail to carry out due diligence can be found guilty of offences under the WHS Act.
Business SA wants to ensure all Officers understand their duties and are not placed in a position where they may be liable.
