Regulation & Law
‘The WHS law (the Acts) contain general duties that employers have to comply with. The Regulations provide more detail on those duties – they “unpack” the law but must also be complied with. These are supported by Codes of Practice which provide practical advice on what employers could do to comply with the law and Regulation, and Codes of Practice can be used in court to understand what is known about a safety issue" (Carlo Caponecchia)
