Your Duty in Relation to Ergonomic Assessments
​
The Australian Workplace Health and Safety Strategy 2012–2022 has set three national targets to be achieved by 2022.
They are based on reductions of worker fatalities due to injury, claims resulting in one or more weeks off work and claims for musculoskeletal disorders resulting in one or more weeks off work. In order to achieve these targets, you need to consider effective work design in your workplace.
A failure to do so could result in a breach of the WHS legislation.
