Course outline
As an‘officer’ under the Work Health and Safety Act, are you aware of your due diligence obligations and responsibilities? With the inclusion of Industrial Manslaughter obligations coming into effect 1 July 2024, individuals can now face a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment and $18 million for companies if found reckless or grossly negligent in conduct.
This course outlines key responsibilities and provides clarity around your duties as an officer to help ensure due diligence in the workplace.
Responsibilities covered in this course include understanding Work Health and Safety legislation; defining relevant duties within your organisation; enforcing reasonably practicable regulations; understanding codes of practice; and the impact for failing to comply with legal requirements to ensure a safe workplace.
Officers who fail to carry out due diligence can be found guilty of offences under the WHS Act. The South Australian Business Chamber wants to ensure all officers understand their duties and are not placed in a position where they may be liable.
