Duty of care may be considered a formalisation of the social contract, the implicit

Q4:
(a) What is the name of the primary piece of legislation governing safety in the
workplace in your state?
The principal WHS law in South Australia consists of the Work Health and Safety
Act 2012, supported by the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2012.
(b) Explain in no more than four (4) sentences the recent changes to
workplace health and safety practices in Australia?
On 12 October 2017, the Queensland Parliament passed the Work Health and
Safety and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2017 (the amendment Act).
The amendment Act amends the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act),
Electrical Safety Act 2002 (ES Act) and the Safety in Recreational Water
Activities Act 2011 (SRWA Act) to implement key recommendations of the Best
Practice Review of Workplace Health and Safety Queensland. A summary of the
amendments is outlined below.
Q5:In Australia there are six (6) essential elements for a contract to be legally
binding. Briefly explain the six elements?
Q6: Explain what a model code of practice is and who it applies too?
A code of practice provides practical guidance for people who have work health
and safety duties. These codes give guidance on: how to achieve the standards
required under the Act; and effective ways to identify and manage risks.
A code of practice applies to anyone who has a duty of care in the circumstances
described in the code. In most cases, following an approved code of practice would
achieve compliance with the health and safety duties in the Act, in relation to the subject
matter of the code.
Like regulations, codes of practice deal with particular issues and do not cover all
hazards or risks which may arise. The health and safety duties require duty holders to
consider all risks associated with work, not only those for which regulations and codes
of practice exist.
Q7:What is the name of the legislation which replaced state workplace relations
laws with a single national system in 2009?
The Fair Work Act 2009 is an Australian law passed by the Rudd Government
after coming into power in 2007 to reform the industrial relations system in Australia. It
replaced the previous Howard Government's WorkChoices legislation. It started
operation on 1 July 2009.
Q8: (a) Identify three (3) codes of practice which would apply to JCDecaux
operations?
1. National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work of 2005
2. National Occupational Health and Safety Certification Standard for Users and
Operators of Industrial Equipment - 3rd Edition [NOHSC: 1006 (2001)]
3. Workplace Injury and Disease Recording Standard in the Workplace
Q10: Outline five (5) areas that the Corporations Act 2001 provides legal
information for incorporated bodies in Australia?
Public no liability company. No liability companies can only be used for mining
purposes.
Unlimited company with share capital. Unlimited companies with share capital can be
public or proprietary. This type of company is often used for pooled investments
because it is easier for members to withdraw their investment capital from this type of
structure. The disadvantage is members are personally liable for the debts of the
company.
Q11: Outline what the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 requires an employer to
do in the workplace?
Q12: There are a number of ways a business can protect their assets. Insurance
is a key component of a protection strategy. Outline four (4) assets that a
business may consider insuring?
1. Current Assets
2. Fixed Assets
3. Tangible Assets
4. Intangible Assets
Q14: Insurance designed to protect a business from a legal claim for damages is
a must in today's environment. Name two (2) types of insurance which will
protect a business from such claims?
1. Liability insurance provides the insured party with protection against claims
resulting from injuries and damage to people and/or property.
Liability insurance policies cover both legal costs and any payouts for which the
insured party would be responsible if found legally liable. Intentional damage and
contractual liabilities are generally not covered in these types of policies.
2. Environmental insurance is a billion-dollar industry with many opportunities—
every account has a pollution exposure. By discussing environmental products
that can effectively address these exposures, you will provide broader coverage
for your client, highlight your agency’s professionalism, help secure future
renewals, and generate more revenue on your accounts.
