Legislation 5 :
The Australian Government has identified Work Health and Safety (WHS) as a priority area for reform. One of the key elements of the WHS reform agenda is harmonisation - moving towards one set of national WHS laws. Safe Work Australia is responsible for developing national model WHS legislation. The model legislation will consist of a principal WHS Act, supported by model regulations and model codes of practice that can be readily adopted around Australia. This requires each state and territory to pass their own laws that mirror the model WHS laws and adopt them by December 2011.
