Compliance Codes

Compliance codes, declared under the 2004 OHS Act, provide practical guidance to those who have duties or obligations under the Act. These now replace the old "Codes of Practice"

The eight compliance codes now available are:

  • Communicating occupational health & safety across languages
  • Workplace amenities and work environment
  • Confined spaces
  • First aid in the workplace
  • Prevention of falls in general construction
  • Foundries
  • Managing asbestos in workplaces
  • Removing asbestos in workplaces
WorkSafe has now produced hard copies of the Compliance Codes.  Unions will be providing copies of the relevant codes to their OHS Reps, or they can obtained by contacting WorkSafe.

Go to the Workplace and Amenities section in FAQs for advice on specific matters in the First Aid and Workplace amenities and work environment codes.
