Each state has its own WHS laws and a regulator to enforce them. The WHS framework for each state includes the:
Act – outlines your broad responsibilities. Regulations – set out specific requirements for particular hazards and risks, such as noise, machinery, and manual handling.
Codes of practice – provide practical information on how you can meet the requirements in the Act and Regulations.
Regulating agency (regulator) – administers WHS laws, inspects workplaces, provides advice and enforces the laws. Check their website for WHS information and resources.
