Advances in Harmonised OHS Legislation

Presentation by: Rhonda Murray, Director, National Fraud Response Unit and Regional Services Vic/Tas, Comcare

Presentation package now available (members only)

Advances in harmonised OHS legislation and the widening role of Comcare were outlined by Comcare Director Rhonda Murray at Central Safety Group's meeting on June 17, 2014.
In a move designed to widen access to the national Comcare workers compensation scheme, the Federal Government, in March this year, announced proposed legislative changes that would allow private sector organisations, who work across State borders, to be regulated by Comcare, which was originally set up to cover public sector employees. Rhonda discussed various aspects of this proposed legislation and the implications of new rules.
Rhonda also spoke about new approaches already being adopted by Comcare to be more procative when dealing with workplaces.

Innovation in action – simplifying safety through technology & engagement
New technologies, behavioural studies and changes in the workplace are leading to more efficient and productive ways to manage workplace OHS.
Examples of this, and advice on how to put it into practice, will be discussed at Central Safety Group’s lunchtime event on 14 July by Scott McMillan, Director of Safety at Melbourne Park.
Scott has a track record of modernising and simplifying safety in complex, high-risk environments and he will demonstrate some of the new and evolving technologies that are influencing health and safety practices.
He will show how to improve workforce engagement using practical and technology-focused approaches. This can help safety managers equip employees for both the present and a rapidly changing future.
Scott will also discuss how to streamline and declutter safety systems to improve clarity and frontline uptake.
