Why do this course?

​

It is the Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (business entity) and the officers of the PCBU (directors, CEOs, etc) that face the greatest penalties and legal consequences for breaches of health and safety compliance and for any incidents or accidents that may happen at work.

 

While it is the responsibility of the business to provide the WHS management system in the first place, it is the responsibility of its officers to ensure that the WHS management system is managed successfully in accordance with the law.

 

This course is a short course that helps to identify the mandatory duties that apply to any PCBU as the main duty holder under the WHS Act 2011 and WHS Regulation 2017.
