What is the WA WHS Act 2020?
WA's Work Health and Safety Act 2020 is a new set of workplace health and safety laws that will harmonise WA with the majority of Australian states. It will replace:
- the current Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984
- WHS elements of the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994
- WHS elements of the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Act 2011
In short, penalties are tougher, prosecutions are easier and terms are broader. The legislations may change the way you do business, so it's essential you understand your responsibilities.
