Health and safety compliance
The Health and Safety at Work Act (2015) requires the PCBU (Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking) to take responsibility for the health and safety of anyone working for them. They are required, so far as is reasonably practicable, to provide and maintain a work environment that is without risks to health and safety. They are also required to provide adequate facilities at work and monitor the health of workers and the conditions at the workplace to prevent illness or injury. Providing ergonomic assessments for your staff helps you to meet these obligations.
