KEEPING CURRENT
Remaining current with legislative requirements and H&S resources will likely help reduce the incidence of

Care should be taken to ensure that legislative annual compliance obligations are met to avoid any surprises.
The following annual compliance checks may be required by some Clubs:
• Building Warrant of Fitness
• Location Compliance Certificate – refer to Hazardous Substance below
