- While the WHS laws are designed to prevent workplace incidents from occurring there will be occasions where a workplace injury or incident occurs despite an employer’s best efforts.
- In the event of such an incident the employer is responsible for co-ordinating the injury, compensation and rehabilitation process.
For more information on the procedures for managing workplace injuries and navigating through workers’ compensation schemes see our Workplace Injury and Workers Compensation topics.
