NEW WH&S REQUIREMENTS  DO YOU KNOW? As from 1 January 2012 all businesses are required to comply with the new WH&S Act and in some cases, have a SAFE WORK METHOD STATEMENT for all jobs.    Chinchilla CCCI, in partnership with Edge Coaching & Consulting and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR), is offering WORKSHOPS which will assist your business to understand what is expected of you as well as develop insight into how to create a WHS system to meet the new legislative requirements.

Business owners, managers and staff who are responsible for operating in a safe way in the workplace and/or are responsible for supervising WH&S.
