Occupational Health and Safety Committee
The Occupational Health and Safety Committee is a joint management-union body established under the Occupational Health and Safety (Commonwealth Employees) Act 1991. The Committee administers the Occupational Health and Safety Agreement between the Commission and the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU). The current Agreement was developed and signed in December 2003 and runs to December 2005. The purpose of the agreement is to set a framework for the prevention of workplace injuries and exposure to hazards in the workplace.
The committee met four times during 2004-05. One new member, representing the CPSU, joined the Committee during the year.
The Commission committed to the National Occupational Health and Safety Strategy involving a ten year commitment to reducing injuries and risk in the workplace and improving rehabilitation intervention.
During the year there were no incidents that required reporting under section 68 of the OH&S Act.
No directions were given to the Commission under section 45 and no notices were given under sections 29, 46 or 47 of the OH&S Act.
