Summer Safety - Heat & Stress               Employer's duty of care

14/11/2017

 
Picture
With summer only weeks away it is important for employers to ensure that they are protecting their employees for heat stress and sun exposure.   Workplace Health and Safety laws require an employer to provide safe working environments for their employees.    Employers have a duty of care to ensure their employees work safely and without risk to their health – this includes exposure to heat and UV radiation.  

Employees also have a responsibility for their own safety and health and must follow company policies and procedures that have been put in place to protect them from heat and sun exposure.
​
Mend can assist employers meet their legal obligations through Heat and Sun Protection Training designed to provide onsite training for employees, managers and subcontractors to understand the principles of Heat and Sun Protection, to address safe work practices and to apply these in their workplace.

To book a training session or for further information, please contact Mend Services on 1300 176 774.
