We are one of Australia’s leading risk, governance and safety consulting, research & advisory firms, providing enterprise risk management, governance and safety solutions to highly regulated sectors.

FAQs
Who is responsible for WHS in an organisation?
Under Australian legislation, and as detailed in the Workplace Health and Safety Act, we are all responsible for WHS at work. We are all duty holders whether we are the PCBU, Officers, Workers or Others. And some of us hold more than one duty! These duties are personal and whilst we might engage others to perform certain tasks, duty holders retain the final responsibility for their WHS duties. All duty holders, including workers, can be prosecuted for failing to meet their duties.
What are the fines and how much are they if I get prosecuted for not meeting WHS legislation obligations?
