Principle 4 - Management of Risks

This Safe Work factsheet gives an overview of the fourth key principle that applies to all WHS duties in the model WHS Act. Understanding this principle will assist you to interpret and apply your duties as a PCBU

A duty holder must manage risks to health and safety by eliminating risks so far as is reasonably practicable and if not reasonably practicable, to minimise those risks so far as is reasonably practicable.

Reasonably practicable means doing all that you reasonably can to keep people safe at work.
