Consultative Committee for Work-related Fatalities and Serious Incidents

Work Health and Safety and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2023

This bill overhauls Queensland's workplace health and safety framework by implementing recommendations from two major reviews. It strengthens health and safety representatives, gives registered unions a direct role in workplace safety matters, makes it easier to prosecute the most serious safety offences by adding negligence as a fault element, and bans insurance against WHS fines.
