Section 16 and Section 19 of Workplace Health and Safety Legislation

Sections and 16 and 19 of the Workplace Health and Safety Act impact significantly on the extent of duties in respect of the management of contractor safety. We know that under workplace health and safety legislation, persons conducting a business or undertaking (employer) have obligations to ensure the health and safety of workers whose activities they influence and direct and contractors are workers, but the impact of these sections is significant in terms of what duties we owe, when we owe duties and how we can we comply.

This webinar will unpack the elements of the WHS Act that impact on contractor safety management and consider them in the context of recent case law.
