New OHS Laws - time to Act!
The NSW Government has enacted the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, which will commence 1st January 2012.

World class organisations understand that exemplary safety standards contribute significantly to business success and a healthy bottom line, and that they can only sustain this through continuing commitment to, and investment in, workplace safety.
*The U.K. Health and Safety Commission defines safety culture as:
“The product of individual and group values, attitudes, perceptions,
competencies, and patterns of behaviour that determine the commitment
to, and the style and proficiency of, an organization’s health and
safety management”.
In more simple terms “it’s the way we do things (safely) around here”.
