Work health and safety is a cross-disciplinary area concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged in work or employment.

The goal of all work health and safety programs is to foster a safe work environment to protect employers, workers, contractors, and other stakeholders or members of the public who are impacted by the workplace environment.

The management of health and safety in the workplace is more than a legislative requirement, it is an investment in the lives and well being of people and their families and requires an ongoing, demonstrated commitment at all levels within an organisation.

Employers recognise the need to be proactive in the management of Work Health and Safety and this is achieved through pragmatic policies and repeatable processes that meet the needs of the business.

Built around AS4801, Governance Manager’s work health and safety framework assists organisations to understand and implement a holistic approach to managing WHS in the workplace.
