Worksafe Western Australia is a government body responsible for the regulation of the state’s occupational health and safety legislation – specifically the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984. Worksafe WA is essentially the equivalent of Workcover Western Australia in that its mandate includes not only the education and promotion of safe work practices but also workplace inspection and enforcement. As with all state and territory authorities, Worksafe Western Australia operates within the framework of Safe Work Australia.
