Workplace health and safety in the COVID-19 business environment – practical training for Queensland businesses

For the first time in Queensland, an entity has been charged with industrial manslaughter under section 34C of Queensland’s Work Health and Safety Act 2011. The two directors were charged with reckless conduct. We have also seen increased scrutiny by the safety regulators with respect to protecting employees’ psychological safety. This is particularly important in the current COVID-19 business environment.

Our half day training program will give employers some practical strategies to comply with and understand their obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld), the recently introduced industrial manslaughter laws and managing safety in the context of COVID-19.

The topics for discussion will include:

understanding your workplace health and safety obligations as an employer
duties of officers, workers and other persons
consultation and representation rights and requirements
consequences of unsafe work for companies and directors
understanding investigations, enforcement measures and prosecutions
new industrial manslaughter laws
psychological safety
special considerations for COVID-19.

We hope that you are able to join us.
