Part 2: Health and safety duties – Australia Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth)

Australia Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) s17: s 17 Management of risks: eliminate, or if not reasonably practicable minimise

Every duty to ensure health and safety requires the duty holder first to eliminate risks to health and safety so far as is reasonably practicable and, where elimination is not reasonably practicable, to minimise those risks so far as is reasonably practicable. The Regulations (Part 3.1) prescribe how: identify hazards, apply the hierarchy of control measures, maintain and review controls.
