Emergency Management Procedure

In general, under the relevant health and safety legislation (the 'Legislation') and associated regulations and codes of practice, the primary duty imposed on a person conducting a business or undertaking (‘PCBU’) is to ensure as far as reasonably practicable, the risks to health and safety in the workplace. For the purposes of the Legislation, an employer is a PCBU and therefore bears the primary responsibility. An employer also has a duty in respect of workplaces it controls or manages.
 
In line with this duty, the relevant work health and safety regulations impose specific obligations on a PCBU in relation to the preparation, maintenance and implementation of emergency plans and procedures.

The following emergency management procedure has been developed to meet its legal obligations and, importantly, to minimise the risks and impact of emergency situations on the health and safety of employees and others in the workplace.
