Office
It is often thought that an office environment is a very safe environment to work in, however, there are many hazards which if left uncontrolled, could cause injury and health problems. It is important that employers provide a safe and healthy environment in office places.
In all jurisdictions in Australia, employers have an absolute duty of care to ensure the health and safety of their workers and visitors. This duty means that these issues must be addressed.
Occupiers and controllers of workplaces also have duties of care to ensure the workplace is safe.
Does your office meet its safety requirements? SMC can help you review and meet your safety obligations by conducting:
- Audits, Inspections, and Workplace Assessment
- Workstation Assessment

- Policy and Procedure
It is the businesses responsibility to ensure workstations, both at the office and home workspaces are ergonomically designed for each individual staff member.
Community and Business Safety
Creating a safe work environment is critical to the success of your business, and is one of the best ways to retain workers and maximize productivity. Though it may cost to implement safe practices and install safety equipment, the effect of not taking action can be severe.
As a business owner or officer (CEO, CFO, GM), you have responsibilities regarding health and safety in your workplace. You need to ensure that your business doesn’t create health and safety problems for your workers (including contractors and volunteers), customers, or the public.
Knowing and understanding the new work health and safety (WHS) laws will help you avoid unnecessary costs and damage to your business caused by workplace injury and illness. It will also provide your business with a strong foundation to achieve long-term success.
