Compliance basically means that you are playing by the rules, and in the game of safety and productivity, the Work Health and Safety Act (WHS) is top dog. The WHS Act states that the person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) is responsible for the health and safety risk assessment form of every worker. A failure to meet these requirements will result in sub-standard risk assessment scoring and possible penalties or fines from the relevant regulator. In the past, the completion and storage of paperwork was the most efficient method of compliance but today there are alternatives in risk assessment software.
