Developing and Implementing Safe Systems of Work

Overview

Safe systems of work are mandatory for every workplace, no matter the industry, location or organisational size. “What is your safe system of work?” is the first question a regulatory inspector will ask after a serious incident. WHS legislation requires Persons Conducting Businesses or Undertakings (PCBUs) to provide a safe system of work for all workers. A safe system of work may take many forms and includes physical safety controls, training and written procedures. This course is designed to support managers and officers to develop safe systems of work. It looks at current legal practice and expectations and supports managers in the practical steps required to effectively manage WHS risks in the workplace.
