Employers must:
Properly orientate, train and supervise staff to ensure safe work practices are understood and followed by all employees.
Consult with all employees, including YW, about decisions that will affect safety in the workplace.
Provide suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) to make sure workers can do their job safely and train workers how to use PPE correctly.
Regularly check WHS systems and procedures to make sure that workers are adequately protected from workplace hazards.
Provide adequate facilities for the welfare of employees. This covers everything from providing suitable toilet facilities to conducting risk assessments on premises and procedures.
Be aware of employers’ legal obligations under the NSW Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and the NSW Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 and meet those obligations in full.
