Model Work Health and Safety Regulations Public Comment Period 2010
Safe Work Australia is currently developing model work health and safety (WHS) Regulations.
An exposure draft of the model WHS Regulations, priority model Codes of Practice, an issues paper and a Regulation Impact Statement (if required) will be submitted to the Workplace Relations Ministers' Council (WRMC) in October 2010.
Once approved by WRMC, the model WHS Regulations will be released for public comment for four months. This will provide businesses and individuals the opportunity to provide feedback to Safe Work Australia on the model WHS Regulations.
