About this Unit

This unit covers the regulation, both by common law and by legislation, of workplace safety. The unit will first cover the historical development of the common law duty to provide a safe working environment, and will show the shortcomings of this approach which have led to widespread legislative intervention. The modern statutory regimes will then be discussed. Whilst the focus will be on Western Australian legislation, comparisons with other jurisdictions will be made, and attempts at legislative harmonisation will be discussed.
