Duty of care

Safety is everyone’s
business and your
legal duty

The duty, and the stakes

Everyone deserves to be safe at work. Businesses have duties to keep workers and others safe and serious incidents can bring regulator investigations with potentially significant penalties against the business and its people.

Not just the business

Safety duties don’t stop with the business. Cartain people in the business can carry duties of their own, with regulators looking at individuals as well as the business owner.

On the front foot and beside you

We can help you build safety into how you operate to help reduce the risk of problems arising, but if an incident or investigation lands on your desk, we’re beside you at every step, including acting for you in litigation where needed (subject to leave being granted if required).

How we can help

Safety work can be divided in two categories: what you do before something goes wrong, and what you do after. Most of our work sits on the first side of that line but when you need incident advice or representation, we can help.

For employers.

We act for businesses and the people who lead them and support you throughout the process

Plain English.

WHS law is dense, our advice isn't. We aim to provide practical advice so you understand what to do when it is challenging.

Calm when it matters.

When an incident arises, seeking early legal advice helps you understand what to focus on.

Prevention first.

The best safety outcome is the incident that never happens. Most of our work is helping you work towards a safer workplace and staying across the changes in the law, so you're working towards prevention.
