A NEW PARADIGM IN OHS HAS ARRIVED

 Regulation  

An occupational health and safety regulation is prescriptive as to the procedures, systems or methods to be implemented so as to prevent or control certain hazards that have the potential to cause death, serious injury or serious illness to persons at a workplace.

A regulation shall prescribe the means by which administrative matters such as incident reporting, registration of plant, etc, shall be dealt with whilst assisting persons and industry with the management of occupational health and safety issues and matters.

Where a specific risk to a person/s is identified or addressed within a statute regulation and a person has a duty of care imposed by statute legislation applicable to a workplace given its geographical location, the persons must implement the prescribed control measures to prevent or minimise the impact of the risk to persons at or in an area adjacent to a workplace.
