People in control of a workplace
The person in control of a workplace is usually the owner unless a lease or contract arrangement puts the effective control of the area in someone else's hands.
You must ensure:
- the workplace is safe and without risk of injury or illness to anyone coming to your workplace to work
- the workplace is safe and without risk of illness or injury from any plant or substance used properly in the course of work
- appropriate safe access to and from the workplace
For more details on your workplace health and safety obligations, refer to part 3 of the Workplace Health and Safety Act 1995 (PDF, 766 KB).
