When a serious workplace incident occurs, the actions taken in the first hours and days can have significant implications for legal compliance, regulatory investigations and organisational risk. Understanding when an incident is notifiable and knowing how to respond appropriately are critical responsibilities for every Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU).
Join the ARC Legal team for a practical webinar examining employer obligations following workplace incidents, including the management of notifiable incidents under work health and safety laws. This session will provide practical guidance on responding effectively while meeting legal obligations and preserving the organisation’s position during any subsequent investigation.
Key topics include:
- Understanding what constitutes a notifiable incident
- Immediate response obligations following a workplace incident
- Notification requirements and interactions with safety regulators
- Preserving incident sites and evidence
- Managing internal investigations and fact-finding processes
- Common mistakes that can increase legal and regulatory risk
- Preparing for regulator involvement and potential enforcement action
Designed for business owners, executives, HR professionals, safety practitioners and people leaders, this webinar will equip attendees with the knowledge and practical tools needed to respond confidently and compliantly when serious workplace incidents occur.
