How To Comply

There are many common solutions for preventing slips, trips and falls in the workplace, which can be readily implemented.

But it is not enough to simply eliminate the obvious risks – by law employers are responsible for controlling all potential safety hazards in their workplace.

Where solutions are not obvious, employers should use a process to help them determine the most effective control measures for the slips, trips and falls risks they find in their workplace.

WorkSafe has a range of guidance materials to advise on the required processes and actions that duty-holders must take in order to meet their legal obligations. Compliance Codes, health and safety solutions and guidance notes each provide detailed and specific advice for duty-holders seeking to comply with the OHS Regulations 2007.
