Workplace Safety Regulations
Share
The legislative and regulatory standards regarding workplace safety are serious requirements set forth to protect the workforce in Australia.
These codes for emergency safety and preparedness are instituted by the Model Work Health and Safety Bill (WHS Act) and enforceable for the standard duty of care in the workplace. Non-compliance has serious penalties, including severe fines.
At Safety Compliance Group, we specialise in AS3745-2010 Planning for emergencies in facilities and AS4083 Planning for emergencies – Health Care Facilities to produce fully compliant emergency evacuation diagrams and emergency plans for your site.
Evacuation exercises are required to be held regularly so your workforce is aware of emergency evacuations in the event of an actual emergency. Regular amendments also service and maintain safety schedules, exit strategies, and orderly plans for safe evacuations of individuals required by law.
As a business owner, you want to protect the safety of your workers, visitors and tenants as if you would for your own home. It is not just legally required, but it is your duty to adequately maintain your business in the best interest of your workforce and yourself.
