Panel 6 | What to Do When an OHS Inspector is at Your Door

Regardless of whether you are an employer in the construction or industrial sectors, the possibility of being visited by the health and safety regulatory body governing your workplace is always there whether it be as the result of a proactive inspection, internal complaint, work refusal or injury/fatality. How your organization reacts to such a visit can have a profound effect on the type of enforcement actions taken post-visit. This session provides best practices for handling these inspections, review the powers that Occupational Health and Safety enforcement personnel have and discuss the various types of enforcement instruments which can be applied against employers.
