Australia Model Code of Practice: Managing the Risks of Plant in the Workplace 1.2d: 1.2 Exercise officer due diligence and make workers and others aware of their duties on plant

Officers must exercise due diligence, including taking reasonable steps to make sure the business has and uses appropriate resources and processes to eliminate or minimise risks to health and safety (WHS Act s 27). Workers must take reasonable care for their own safety and not adversely affect others, follow reasonable instructions and cooperate with notified policies, and use PPE provided as instructed (s 28); other persons at the workplace such as visitors must take reasonable care and follow reasonable instructions (s 29). The PCBU's part is to make these expectations known and to resource and verify the processes.
