16.2 Workshop: 2 Hours

To achieve compliance with the OHS act, a successful and proactive health and safety programme and culture needs to be implemented into every organisation and business, but also needs top management’s support and commitment, to achieve this. Employers, Chief Executive Officers or Directors, have a duty to provide a healthy, safe, and prepared working environment, to all employees, contractors, and visitors, as per the act and specifically Section 8 of the act. This can be achieved, by top management having a better understanding of the act as a whole and important sections specific to them.
