CAANZ has tapped Bell Gully partner Tim Clarke – a specialist in employment, safety & workplace relations – to update senior agency staff on the impact of the new Health & Safety at Work Act, which came into force in April.
Under the new legislation, agency management is legally responsible for leading Health & Safety in their organisation – and face exposure to potential criminal liability.
“Tim specialises in advising clients on all aspects of health and safety law, from giving strategic advice to directors on the proposed health and safety legislation, through to workplace compliance, managing health and safety investigations, and representing clients in prosecutions by WorkSafe,” says CAANZ ceo Paul Head.
