For the first time in Queensland, a jury has found an individual guilty of industrial manslaughter under section 34C of Queensland's Work Health and Safety Act 2011. Further officers are also awaiting trial for similar charges. 2021 and the start of 2022 have also seen increased scrutiny by the safety regulators with respect to protecting employees' psychological safety. This is particularly important as employers manage the ever changing COVID-19 business environment.
As workers return to the workplace, our half day training program will give employers some practical strategies to comply with and an opportunity to fully understand their obligations under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Qld) and the industrial manslaughter laws introduced in early 2020, and on how to manage safety in the context of COVID-19.
The topics for discussion will include:
- understanding your workplace health and safety obligations as an employer
- duties of officers, workers and other persons
- consultation and representation rights and requirements
- consequences of unsafe work for companies and directors
- understanding investigations, enforcement measures and prosecutions
- an overview of current industrial manslaughter laws
- psychological safety
- special considerations for COVID-19 in the current environment.
