Workplace Safety and Health Act
Safety, health and welfare of people at workIn plain English
Not legal adviceThe Workplace Safety and Health Act covers the safety, health and welfare of people at work. It applies to all workplaces, unless the Act expressly says otherwise. It binds the government and covers workplaces the government wholly or partly owns or occupies. It also covers premises where building operations or engineering construction work is done by or for the government. The government cannot be prosecuted for an offence under the Act. Providing services to the government does not by itself make anyone immune from prosecution.
