Occupational Health and Safety
Following the enactment of the Occupational Health & Safety Act 2000 (NSW), there is considerable emphasis on employers to ensure they comply with their mutual obligations within the workplace.
Employers remain vicariously liable for the acts, omissions and errors of their employees; whilst employees must exercise a duty of care to other employees at work. The BIA maintains funding assistance from the WorkCover Authority in developing effective training and awareness tools.
