Staff with significant decision-making authority, such as CEO’s, directors and other executive managers, are likely considered to be “officers” of their organisation under the HSW Act. Officers have substantial duties and obligations under the HSW Act. For them it is crucial to understand these duties and to be pro active in safety management to ensure the organization meets its duties under the legislation. Without a clear and informed understanding of the H&S legislation, officers and their organisation may be exposed to prosecution, fines and jail sentences for failing to meet their duties.

The Health and Safety at Work (HSW) Act imposes duties and obligations to ensure the health and safety of all workers and others who may be affected by its operations.

The object of the HSW Act is underpinned by the principle that all workers and others are given the highest level of protection against harm to their health, safety and welfare so far as is reasonably practicable.
The HSW Act imposes special duties on Officers. This duty is called “Due Diligence”.
