Workplace health and safety (WHS) refers to the legal obligations aimed at ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of employees in a workplace.
Employers are required to identify potential hazards, mitigate risks, provide safety training, and maintain a hazard-free environment to protect their workforce.
An example of WHS in action is conducting regular safety audits on-site to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
By prioritizing WHS practices, employers not only fulfill their legal responsibilities but also foster a culture of safety that can lead to improved employee morale and productivity.
