Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Winner of the Educational Award by the World Safety Organization Contractor safety management is often seen as nothing more than a subset of general safety management in that no special consideration needs to be given to understanding the difficulties of the contract environment. This leaves contractors endlessly juggling competing and sometimes contradictory demands made by the principal in the name of safety and health. Instead of managing the work in accordance with the contract and the agreed health and safety management plan, contractors find themselves having to cope with moveable, ever-changing expectations about the way that health and safety is supposed to be managed. Contractor Safety Management explores how the contracting–principal relationship can influence safety outcomes and how a principal's role in "overseeing" the safety performance of its contractors is different from managing safety in its own organization. It brings together perspectives from different disciplines including legal, health and safety management, operational, and contract and procurement management. The editor and chapter authors examine real-life cases, the issues that they present, and the way that safety management was handled. By sharing lessons across disciplines, the book identifies critical issues in contractor safety management and raises awareness of its complexity and importance. It provides wide-ranging and comprehensive insight into the concerns confronting organizations, managers, and safety managers in contracting relationships. Offering guidance on how critical issues might be addressed, the book uses real-life cases to draw conclusions from successes and failures that can guide future contracting strategies for effectively controlling health and safety risks in a contracting environment.

Book excerpt: Tooma's Annotated Work Health and Safety Act 2011 Second Edition provides an authoritative and easy-to-navigate, annotation of the national work health and safety (WH&S) law in Australia. In this precise annotation of the uniform WH&S law, leading practitioner and experienced author, Michael Tooma, uses the New South Wales enactment of the model legislation as his basis, with comparative tables referencing the law in other jurisdictions. Through his authoritative, section-by-section commentary, and analysis of the new duties and obligations, the author shares his insights into the how the national WH&S regime is developing. Michael Tooma draws on the latest case law to update the work with key developments since commencement of the uniform WH&S regime in 2011. These include decisions relating to: New interpretations of how the duty to workers interacts with the duty to others. Application of the general duty including a record penalty Horizontal consultation obligation Definition of officer Regulatory powers under s. 155 and s. 171 Judgements considered include WorkSafe v Rowson, DPP v Kidman, Kenos Contractors, Boland v TAPS, Perilya v Nash, Hunter Quarries, and the Al-Hassani case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically analyses the Model Work Health and Safety Bill, which is the pivotal legal instrument upon which the harmonisation of work health and safety regulation in Australia is based. This Model Act has already been adopted from 1 January 2012 in some Australian jurisdictions – the Commonwealth, New South Wales, Queensland and the two territories – and is the culmination of a long process which gained renewed impetus with a National Review of Model Occupational Health and Safety Laws commissioned by the Federal Government on behalf of all Australian governments in April 2008. The book explains the origins of the Model Act, analyses its provisions, outlines practical issues, including potential difficulties, in their application and makes suggestions for further debate to develop the harmonised provisions. It explores the potential of the harmonised health and safety laws and assesses their adequacy to guide us through the challenges of the next century.
