Occupational Health Safety and Welfare (OHS&W) Information
Most workplace injuries occur soon after commencing a new job when enthusiasm is coupled with a lack of awareness of dangers. Early in the Apprenticeship placement process you will receive training in Occupational Health, Safety & Welfare.
(Extract form OHS&W Act, 1986 as amended)
Duties of Workers
- An employee must take reasonable care to protect the employee's own health and safety at work.
Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare is of primary importance in the philosophy of PEER VEET and is considered to be of equal importance to all other organisational considerations. To achieve and maintain this objective, PEER VEET requires the active cooperation and commitment of all persons involved in the organisation establishing and maintaining the highest possible health and safety standards for all workers.
Full details of what is required by Apprentices in relation to your obligations in relation to OHS&W, are contained in the Apprentice Information Handbook (PEER Form 740).
