New WA Work Health & Safety Laws Education Workshop

Clubs WA Industry Forum and Trade Expo
16th October, 2019
8:30am – 9:30am 

The nature of licensed clubs is unique.  Most registered clubs are community-owned and hugely dependent on volunteers who make a significant contribution. The introduction of new Work Health and Safety Act and Work Health and Safety Regulations for Western Australia sets out new health and safety duties to provide protections from hazards and risks in the workplace for volunteers.

So what does this mean for Clubs WA members and management?

Come, attend the one-hour workshop, and learn about;

• The New Work Health and Safety Laws
• Work Health and Safety Legislation Framework
• Key features of the Work Health and Safety Act
• Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) – What is it?
• Reasonably Practicable
• Responsible for more people – Safety of volunteers
• Officer Duties – Due Diligence
• Work Health and Safety Penalties
• Case Study
• Who has duties under the Work Health and Safety Laws
• What does your organisation need to do?
