Submission to Safe Work Australia on improving work health and safety incident notification

We hold significant concerns with the options proposed, which centre around the legal implications, practical implementation issues, and the potential harm for impacted persons as a result of implementing reporting requirements that possess limited demonstrable health and safety benefits. For example, there is lack of a trauma-informed approach in some of the requirements surrounding the response to psychosocial incidents and workplace violence and assault. Further detail on these concerns are provided in the submission below.
