LEARNING TASK 5 : Use the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation

The purpose of the OHS Regulation is to promote occupational health and safety and to protect workers and others present at workplaces from work-related risks to their health, safety, and well-being. Compliance with the requirements provides the basis on which workers and employers, in co-operation, can solve workplace health and safety problems. The requirements are not an end in themselves but are a foundation on which to build an effective health and safety program.
