Hazard reporting requirements
All employers are required by the law to report all workplace hazards. They
must also take reasonable care in identifying all the hazards in their workplace.
For more information on this process see the UnionSafe Risk Assessment
Information Sheet.
When employers take into account all foreseeable hazards they must not only
consider employees but must also consider anyone else entering onto the place
of work (For example; contractors, members of the public or delivery people).
