Your employees are your best asset. Look after them.

Workplace injuries totalled 128,050 across Australia in 2011-12. Employees spend a third of their day at work; it is important that as employees we make the workplace as safe as possible to reduce the chance of injuring our employees and to minimise the legal risks to our businesses.

WHS practices may always be at the back of your mind, but do you have sufficiently well planned and defined WHS systems that are; practical, understood and followed by your employees? Do they address all applicable legislation?

In reality for most businesses the answer to these questions is no!

This is where workers are often exposed to unnecessary risk and employers can be exposed to remorse and prosecution.
