Work Health and Safety legislation mandates that an individual or a company conducting a business or undertaking (the PCBU) must ensure the health and safety of their workers and others associated with the workplace. Compliance with safety legislation, school standards, and safety objectives is essential to manage operational risks effectively. An effective compliance programme must be in place and followed. Engaging with an auditor like Wilding & Co Lawyers is crucial for ensuring that your school meets its legislative obligations.

After our audits, you will receive a comprehensive Audit Report detailing outcomes and recommendations for addressing any non-conformances and identifying potential areas for improvement.
