The Work Health and Safety Act will replace the existing Occupational Health & Safety Act commencing from 1 January 2012. Business operators only have a few months to review and update their existing health and safety systems to align them with the new requirements. The new WHS legislation will also comprise of WHS Regulations, supported by National Codes of Practice and guidance materials. For more information about the WHS Act and Regulations click here...
