Thanks Tracker. I should point out that this isn't about a injury claim, it's just something I am interested in because my partner is a teacher.

Hi everyone,
I understand that an employer is responsible for WHS when a formal arrangement exists for an employee too work from home, but what about informal situations where an employee...

This was a good forum - it went quiet when HSEFORUM closed it down for a few months about a year ago.
Spread the word but include Managers, CEO's and Supervisors as they all would...
The Forum seems to have come to a sudden halt - does that equate to a lack of interest or a lack of questions ?
Lets see if we have can audience and can gather some replies.

Like many Company OHS officers you are feeling frustrated - it is common as many Managers do not understand workplace safety or are willing to take a risk that a seroius accident will...
Rizla,
Sorry to say this but you will need to look at the OHS / WHS Legislation depending on what State ( or maybe Comcare )you are in.
The Legislation is clear - identify the hazards,...

Love to see him run that line in court.
Join a local Safety Group if you have one - try and visit a firm that puts safety first to see how they do it ( if you are in the Logistics...
Miketrees,
I cannot see why you, as Safety Manager, have to do vehicle checks - this is a responsibility of drivers and trained mechanics under the direction of Managers & Supervisors. Your job is...
Miketrees,
If the owner had knowledge of serious safety issues then under OHS law in all States he could be prosecuted for a breach . He may have a Manager but who has the utimate responsibility -...

Looks like the Auditor did his job - he listed non - conformance and now it is up to the Company to fix it.
They will be caught out sooner or later - you will be able to look back when...

Back again - noted you are in WA.
Normally you follow the Manufacturers recommendations regarding services but a lot of the better Companies have a daily / and or Weekly and or /...
Miketrees,
You have not said what State you are in ?
Regards your problem - if the Company you work for is that bad you would most likley have a workplace with poor IR - it's a wonder that an...
The Forum was very active over the last few years but dropped off after, I belive, being hacked.
The more people that respond and use it the better - promote through OHS Safety Groups, local...

Be careful - WHS Legislation in Queensland could also include or override any seperate Mining Legislation, it depends how the Government has structured it.
As I said each State has taken it's own...
Not certain what you are referencing but Queensland safety legislation is the Work Health & Safety Act and Regulation.
As far as I know the Electrical Safety Act & Regulation also apply in...
Hi all
Just a bit confused as to what to reference under the new QLD legislation? WHS or HSE. It was previously HSE.
