Managing Work Health & Safety in the Security Industry
Thinkers Theatre
Peter will discuss work health and safety (WHS) in Australia’s Private Security industry identifying it as crucial due to the high-risk nature of the work, which often involves dealing with volatile situations, long hours, and physical demands. With reference to "case studies" Peter will highlight the need for robust WHS practices that support the protection of security personnel, clients, and the public, reducing the likelihood of accidents, injuries, and legal liabilities. Underpinning the presentation is that adherence to WHS regulations not only fulfils legal obligations but also strengthens the reputation of security companies, ensuring they can effectively manage risks and maintain a reliable and professional service.
