SafeWork NSW launched their impressive Roadmap for Work Health & Safety for NSW 2022 in August 2016. It shows how a PCBU (business, organisation, corporation, etc) can embed SafeWork’s “health and safety landscape” in their workplace.
The 20 page Road Map contains a worthwhile purpose and vision, a realistic strategy and action areas, and achievable strategic outcomes and targets. It is not a fluffy public relations document.
Action Area 1 of the Roadmap
Action Area 1 is “Embed the Health & Safety Landscape in NSW Workplaces”.
A health and safety landscape is an area where “Every job is designed to be safe, and has safe practices, controls and outputs” and has the 5 key elements of:
- "Leadership from the top - Workplace leaders visibly demonstrate their commitment to work health and safety"
- "Organisational safety capability and practices - The organisation has the capability to put in place safe systems, procedures and policies that translate to safe practices"
- "Consultation and communication – Consultation and communication hold all elements of the Safety Landscape together."
- "Worker capability – Workers have the skills and attitudes to work safely"
- "Safe environment - Safe physical and mental environment supported by supply chains"
Action Area 1 and the health and safety landscape is effectively shown in text and diagram form on pages 10 and 11 of the WHS Roadmap. Action Area 1 is the action area that is most relevant to what SafeWork NSW expects from all businesses in NSW.

This update on the WHS roadmap is so important for staying compliant, especially with how quickly safety regulations seem to change these days. It actually reminds me of a period last year when I was transitioning into a safety officer role and was completely buried under stacks of new legislation and training modules. I was so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of coursework on top of my field inspections that I remember jokingly asking my partner if they could just take my online class for me so I could get a few hours of sleep. It’s definitely a challenge to keep up with professional development while managing a full-time site schedule, but having clear summaries like this makes the learning curve…
I’ve found discussions on WHS frameworks like this forum really insightful, especially when peers dissect practical implementation challenges. Having navigated similar research complexities, I realized involving academic editors early can clarify structure and compliance nuances. For instance, when I needed someone to edit my research proposal UK, their guidance ensured my methodology aligned perfectly with academic standards.
