Queensland develops OHS action plans
Industry action plans have been developed to support the second stage of the Queensland Workplace Health and Safety Strategy 2004–12, which aims to reduce the incidence of work-related injuries by 40% and fatalities by 20%.
The action plans focus on educating and informing employers and employees on managing risks in the workplace and aim to build a Queensland workplace culture that sees health and safety as an integral part of normal business operations.
The action plans were developed in consultation with industry and cover the construction industry; health and community services; hospitality, recreation and other services; manufacturing; retail and wholesale; rural; and transport and storage industries.
The industry action plans cover:
- the health and safety of young people
- musculoskeletal disorder risk factors
- assisting small businesses
- integrating workplace health and safety into normal business operations
- encouraging business to improve workplace health and safety performance
