Due Diligence

‘‘

Description:

Employers should be avoiding circumstances that create OHS problems or that make existing difficulties worse. The necessary steps to avoid or minimize OHS problems can range from relatively simple steps to more complex or strategic measures. In this webinar, a former health and safety prosecutor will discuss some of the all-too-common missteps by employers and management, their potential impact, and how to avoid them. The discussion will address various topics including putting the best foot forward before an OHS inspection, mistakes during an OHS inspection, errors when managing workplace events, and common shortcomings in training workers.
