SafetyLaw is a web-based information service that summarises occupational health and safety (OH&S) duties in plain English.

Duties are conveniently grouped both according to the main sections in AS 4801 (eg. risk assessment, records) and also by workplace activity/hazard (eg. manual handling, working at height).

SafetyLaw:

Is ideal for people who are responsible for OH&S, or who have one or more legal duties under Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions, including employers, manufacturers, suppliers and employees.
Provides all relevant information including duties and other supporting documents such as codes of practice, guidelines and Australian/New Zealand Standards in convenient topic groups.
Gives sufficient detail so that the information can be used directly as audit criteria or for training or for preparing work instructions.

SafetyLaw summaries are fully referenced with hyperlinks to full-text legislation. Where appropriate, text is hyperlinked to legal definitions and relevant third party references such as those from state/territory authorities, Australian Safety and Compensation Council, Australian/New Zealand Standards and other relevant authorities or industry bodies.

SafetyLaw is indexed and is a useful reference source for managers and OH&S specialists.

SafetyLaw is updated every month and clients receive notification by email.

SafetyLaw comes with free help desk support (phone and email) to assist you with general queries about SafetyLaw or your legal obligations. Note, though, that this is not a legal advisory service.

SafetyLaw satisfies AS4801 Clause 4.3.2 which requires an organisation to establish and maintain procedures to:

identify and access all OH&S legal obligations that apply to its activities, products and services,
ensure that the information is up to date,
disseminate relevant information to employees.

SafetyLaw is a subscription based service. A subscription allows an unlimited number of users to access SafetyLaw at any time. To date, we have more than 550 subscriptions.
