Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S)

Employees need to be aware of the potential for things to go wrong as well as the key role everyone can play in identifying, reporting and managing hazards. In order to achieve this, employees need to be familiar with:

Queensland Health's Occupational Health and Safety policies, procedures and general information
the Workplace Health and Safety Act and associated regulations
guidelines for managing key health industry exposures (including but not limited to patient and manual handling, occupational violence, and security).

This information is all available from the Queensland Health Occupational Health and Safety site

For more information on occupational health and safety legislation, see:

Department of Employment and Industrial Relations
Office of the Queensland Parliamentary Counsel

Please refer to the Orientation and Induction Learning Objectives for summary information for managers.
