Getting started with OH&S
If you want to reduce health and safety hazards in your workplace but don't know where to begin, there are simple steps that will allow you to concentrate your efforts as well as help your business to be prepared in all situations.
Having the right attitude towards the safety of your workers, contractors, customers and the public is an important first step. OH&S shouldn't be seen as an additional cost - it's better to deal with health and safety issues before they escalate.
If you're looking for assistance with OH&S requirements specific to your industry, you can utilise state and territory OH&S agencies for advice and kits on how to incorporate safety management into your business operations.
