Work health and safety is not a poster in the crib room. Under the model WHS laws — and Victoria’s OHS Act, which still speaks a slightly different dialect — a person conducting a business or undertaking has to eliminate or minimise risk so far as is reasonably practicable. That sentence has paid for a thousand consultancies. It also describes the ordinary work of walking a site, asking who could get hurt, and writing down what you will do about it.
This hub collects the guides we would have handed a new safety officer at the old Advantage Training desk: how duties stack, how to run a risk assessment that survives an inspector, what psychosocial hazards actually look like on a roster, and how to consult workers without turning the meeting into theatre.
