How to comply

WorkSafe applies a strategy of ‘constructive compliance’ – a combination of incentives and deterrents – to improve workplace health and safety.

This strategy recognises that real and sustainable improvement in workplace health and safety requires active involvement from employers and employees in identifying hazards and controlling risks.

WorkSafe has a range of guidance materials to advise duty-holders about the required processes and actions they must take to meet their legal obligations.  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.
