SafeWork Australia has advised that technical amendments have been made to the
model Work Health and Safety WHS Regulations 2011. A revised version of the model WHS Regulations, dated 9 January 2014, is now available from the Safe Work Australia website.
The revised version incorporates technical amendments made to correct inadvertent
errors, clarify policy intent and address workability issues. These revisions apply
mainly to high risk work, diving work, plant, asbestos and major hazard facilities.
A summary document of the key technical amendments has also been made available.
SafeWork Australia advises it is important to note that these amendments do not
automatically apply. Each participating jurisdiction makes the amendments through
their own law-making processes and the timeframes for this will vary. Check details
about implementation with your work health and safety regulator.
