Who Should Attend
Persons who are in control of a business or undertaking, or have influence over the operations of a business or undertaking, including board members, senior management and those who are self-employed.
The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 places duties on Persons in Control of a Business or Undertaking (PCBU's) to ensure that workers under their control are not exposed to risks to their health and safety.
The legislation places specific duties on offices and senior management of a PCBU, and penalties apply if these duties are not discharged. Company officers need to exercise 'due diligence', have a greater understanding and be more hands on with regards to health and safety management.
