WHS Consultation

A recent decision of the Fair Work Commission concerning the introduction of a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for entry to premises at the Mt Arthur Coal mine work site, brought into focus the importance of understanding and effectively satisfying consultation obligations under the WHS legislation. In this podcast, Katherine Morris and Nicki Milionis discuss the principles arising from the decision in detail as they can be applied to any health and safety matters, not just the particular issue of the vaccination mandate that was the subject of the decision. Katherine and Nicki also explore the potential legal, operational and financial risks that arise if satisfying consultation obligations does not occur and provide practical suggestions.
