Due Diligence Workplace Health & Safety Workshop

and Safety (WHS) for a number of reasons. Legal accountability, audit purposes, risk mitigation,

responsibility has landed many decision makers in hot water even as far as criminal charges.

issues; and

• What are they looking for?;
• How do we respond?; and
• What issues do we need to consider?
