Engaging a contractor doesn't transfer your WHS obligations to them. You need to know exactly where your duty of care ends — because legally, it goes further than most people think.
Under the WHS Act 2011, your duty of care extends to every person carrying out work for your business — whether they're on your payroll or not. This module covers who counts as a worker under the Act, what you must do before a contractor starts work, how to manage volunteer safety, induction requirements, supervision obligations, and what to do when something goes wrong on site.
The WHS definition of "worker" — broader than most businesses realise
Contractor prequalification, SWMS, and permit to work
Volunteer WHS obligations and practical safety steps
Site induction requirements and documentation
Ongoing supervision: what level is enough?
Notifiable incidents and insurance obligations
Certificate of completion included
Please note — the module will be delivered within 24 hours of receiving payment OR 48 hours after branding information is received.
