How to comply

By law, employers are responsible for controlling all risks to health and safety in their workplace.

Where solutions are not obvious, employers should use a process to help them determine the most effective measures.

WorkSafe has a range of guidance materials to advise on the required processes and actions that duty-holders must take in order to meet your legal obligations regarding hazardous substances.

In addition to national guidelines and standards, WorkSafe’s Compliance Codes, Health and safety Solutions and Guidance Notes each provide detailed and specific advice for duty holders seeking to comply with the OHS regulations.
