$Compliance Isn\u2019t Enough: Avoiding J*il Time Through WHS Best Practices$

Discover the legal risks beyond WHS compliance. Learn how to avoid personal liability and J*il time with proactive safety management.
About this Event

This workshop addresses a critical issue for business owners, executives, and safety officers: mere compliance with health and safety (HS) legislation does not necessarily shield individuals or organisations from criminal liability.

Australian court cases reveal that failures in implementing policies, personal responsibility, and negligence can lead to severe penalties, including Pr*son time.

This workshop is essential for anyone in a leadership role seeking to understand the legal risks beyond compliance.

Attendees will learn of a better WHS approach to avoid J*il time.

What We'll Cover:

The distinction between WHS compliance and actual safety practices in the workplace
Key reasons compliance alone doesn’t provide full legal protection, based on Australian court cases
Personal liability of directors and officers under WHS laws
The role of due diligence and proactive safety management in avoiding legal consequences
Practical steps to move beyond compliance and build a safer, legally sound workplace
