Health & Safety Due Diligence for Officers & Leaders

Officers play a critical role in ensuring workplace health and safety obligations are met. Their responsibilities go beyond approving policies or receiving reports. Officers are expected to understand the organisation's operations, remain informed about health and safety matters, and take reasonable steps to ensure effective safety systems are in place and working.

This course explores who may be considered an Officer, the concept of due diligence, the reasonable care obligations that apply in Victoria, the six due diligence obligations under WHS laws, and the potential consequences of failing to meet these responsibilities.
