Introduction to Work Health and Safety Legislation

Please note: this event is run by the Small Business Development Corporation for small business owners in Western Australia only.

As a small business owner it is important to understand your obligations in regard to Workplace Health and Safety (WHS).

The WHS legislation that took effect on March 31, 2022, provides improved protections for all workers in Western Australia?

This session will help you understand these new laws and improve the way you manage safety and health within your business.

This topic covers:

• Western Australia's WHS legislation
• How to implement safety practices within your business
• How to access and evaluate information on workplace health and safety
• Safety certification requirements
• How to conduct an internal safety review of your business

This session is for business owners who:

• Wish to learn about WA's WHS legislation
• Are ready to launch a business or new product to market
• Are interested in keeping current with safety legislation and their obligations

The facilitator of this topic, Elect Training and Consulting is a respected provider of workplace health and safety solutions, providing organisations with the tools to thrive in safe and healthy working environments. Director Mark Small has more than 17 years experience as a safety professional.
