Transitional arrangements for harmonised work health and safety laws now apply
New work health and safety legislation commenced in Queensland on 1 January 2012 and it is important that employers and other duty holders are aware of how their businesses are affected.
To smooth the shift to the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 a number of transitional arrangements will apply.
These arrangements delay the requirement to comply with certain parts of the legislation that are new in Queensland and that will need some action by business operators in order to comply with them.
