Statement of commitment

As key parties to the improvement of workplace health and safety in Queensland, we have accepted responsibility for the development and implementation of the Queensland Workplace Health and Safety Strategy 2004-12.

The strategy will focus our efforts in working together to implement interventions to dramatically improve Queensland's workplace health and safety performance to foster sustainable, safe and healthy enterprises that prevent work-related death, injury and disease.

We are committed to working cooperatively on the priorities, goals and actions identified in the strategy. We also commit to regularly reviewing our achievements against the strategy's plans and targets and will further develop the strategy in light of these achievements. We recognise that there are many other stakeholders who make significant contributions to improving Queensland ¿s workplace health and safety performance. We invite them to adopt or contribute to the strategy and their contributions will be taken into account in its future development.

We commit to a strategy that is implemented in line with the following guiding principles:

1. partnership and commitment to improved workplace health and safety outcomes by all stakeholders
2. effective communication and consultation between stakeholder groups
3. priority be given to the goals and actions contained within the strategy
4. the strategy to be monitored and evaluated on a regular basis to ensure currency and effectiveness.
