Introduction to Work Health and Safety Duties
Overview of duties under work health and safety laws.
Applies to employers, workers, and others involved.
Understanding PCBUs
Employers are referred to as a person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU).
PCBU examples include retail businesses, manufacturers, and not-for-profit organizations.
Health and Safety Responsibilities of PCBUs
PCBUs must ensure the health and safety of workers, customers, and volunteers.
Responsibilities include safe systems of work and adequate facilities.
Hazard Identification and Risk Management
PCBUs must identify hazards and manage health and safety risks.
A hazard is anything that can cause harm; the risk assesses the likelihood and consequences of that harm.
Collaboration Between Multiple PCBUs
Multiple PCBUs must collaborate to manage workplace risks.
Consultation and coordination among all PCBUs are essential for effective safety management.
Employee Consultation and Input
PCBUs must consult with workers directly affected by health and safety matters.
Worker participation enhances decision-making and reduces injuries.
