WHS Resources Available
Safe Work Australia are continuing to develop further model Codes of Practice and guidance material to support the model laws. Each state and territory work health and safety authority have also developed a range of resources including transitional arrangements to assist their jurisdiction with the transition. These resources will help duty holders to gain an understanding of the WHS laws so they can assess their current practice against changed or new requirements and make changes as necessary.
