Submission to the National OHS review
Queensland calls for national OHS system for the modern world
The Queensland Government submission to the federal review of occupational health and safety laws has called for a national OHS system that addresses the needs of contemporary, non-traditional work arrangements, seeking duty holders to adopt a joint risk management approach within an effective regulatory framework. Queensland’s submission calls for all duty holders under the new OHS Act to be required to do everything “reasonably practicable” to ensure that no one is exposed to risks to their health and safety from the business or undertaking. This requirement should be supported by regulations and codes of practice that provide greater clarity to duty holders, of what is expected and how they can meet their responsibilities.
