Contribute to OHS in the workplace
Workplace Health and Safety legislation places emphasis on consultation and cooperation between employers and staff in developing methods of work and the sharing of information that will reduce the incidence of occupational injury and disease.
This section discusses how you can actively contribute to workplace health and safety processes and assist your organisation to comply with WHS requirements. This includes:
understanding your rights and obligations as a worker
raising WHS issues with the appropriate people
contributing to participative arrangements for WHS management
providing feedback on hazards in the work area
providing support in applying risk control procedures
