Workplace Health and Safety Standards: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn about the legal standards designed to ensure a safe environment for all workers and employers in the workplace.
These standards establish the legal requirements for maintaining a safe environment for everyone in a place of work.
Who it's for
This scheme applies to everyone involved in a working environment, including all workers and all employers.
What you get

What it costs you
There is no cost to access these standards. It is a mandatory requirement for employers to implement these safety measures.
The catch to know

- Report all incidents and near misses to the appropriate supervisor or authority.
