Safety Managers and those involved in managing OHS
compliance may wish to read up on the newly published Safe Work
Australia Codes of Practice and review their own practices to
ensure compliance.
Safe Work Australia has recently published useful new Codes of
Practice (Codes) in the following areas:
- Demolition Work;
- Excavation Work;
- First Aid in the Workplace;
- Labelling of Workplace Hazardous Chemicals;
- Managing Electrical Risks in the Workplace;
- Managing the Risk of Falls at Workplaces; and
- Spray Painting and Powder Coating.
While not strictly applicable to employers that operate their
business in Victoria or Western Australia, these Codes are
practical guides to achieving the standards of health, safety and
welfare required under the Work Health and Safety Act2011
(Cth) and the WHS Regulations in a jurisdiction.
