Harmonisation and Work Health and Safety Update - Brisbane

  • An update on progress towards a national harmonised work health and safety regime.
  • Increased penalties in recent decisions.
  • Recent judicial interpretations of what constitutes 'reasonably practicable'.
  • Prosecution of officers under the harmonised legislation.
