Introduction to health and Safety

A safe workplace is critical to the success of your business, no matter what size, location or type it is. As a business owner you have responsibilities regarding health and safety in your workplace. Even if you don't have any employees, you must ensure that your business doesn't create health and safety problems for your customers and the general public.

Knowing, understanding and complying with the Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) laws will help you avoid the unnecessary costs and damage to your business caused by workplace injury and illness.

Under OH&S legislation you are obliged to provide:

• safe premises
• safe machinery and materials
• safe systems of work
• information, instruction, training and supervision
• a suitable working environment and facilities.

If you don't comply with these legal requirements you can be prosecuted and fined.
