Work Health & Safety
Due to the coronavirus restrictions, many organisations are having to temporarily close and/or arrange for employees to conduct business from their homes.
Temporarily unoccupied premises present increased risks due to a higher likelihood of break-ins, malicious damage, water damage, machinery breakdown and fire.
We have developed a guide to help Not for Profit's navigate these increased risk exposures as part of our NFP Resources Area.
One of the significant impacts of the introduction of harmonised WHS Legislation at the start of 2012 was changing the term ‘employee’ to ‘worker’, strengthening and clarifying the obligations for WHS that a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) must do in relation to ensuring volunteer safety.
