Activity+7+–+Discussion

Task:
Australian Standards are persuasive in Court cases for breaches and defence while some AS are specifically mentioned in legislation and thus have the force of law by incorporation. In this activity you will take a closer look at one AS. Obtain a copy of //Australian Standard AS/NZS 4804:2001 Occupational health and safety management systems – general guidelines on principles, systems and supporting techniques//. Then read through Section 4 OHSMS principles and elements. You can obtain Australian Standards from your local government library, as they subscribe to the service through the State Library, or you can obtain one from your local TAFE NSW library. Select one principle from Section 4 and explain why you believe that it is the most important of the principles listed.
