CTS Staff Changes

Jeanette has begun her maternity leave (she is pictured here with recent Shire of Busselton Graduates). While Jeanette is away Rahbia will be taking on her role.
Last month we also welcomed Rob Brogan to the team - he will be mainly working on a project in the goldfields. Angela Bancilhon has commenced working with CTS providing coaching and management training.
Annette Bain has joined the ranks of FIFO workers travelling in and out of the Goldfields. Her friendly and supportive training style will be missed and we wish her the very best in her future role. |

Harmonisation of OHS Laws
WA has been participating in the harmonisation of occupational health and safety laws accross Australia. The federal, state and territory government's are working towards the new laws commencing across Australia in 2012. Transitional arrangements will be put in place in each jurisdiction. Model Act, Regulations and Codes of Practice have been developed and are available for download from from the Safe Work Australia website. There will be no national regulator once harmonisation is in place, each Commonwealth, state and territory will regulate the administration of laws in their own jurisdiction. Draft model Work Health and Safety Regulations and model Codes of Practice for mining are also being developed to support the the new Work Health and Safety Act. These are also available for download from the Safe Work Australia website. |
