Engaging reliable service providers is a critical aspect of any business’s operations, regardless of the industry. Managing the WHS of service providers poses significant challenges for businesses, especially when dealing with a diverse range of service types. There is a shared Primary Duty of Care (Model WHS Act 2011) mandating that, as far as reasonably practicable, the health and safety of workers are not compromised by business activities. This responsibility extends to exercising reasonable due diligence in the selection, engagement and ongoing management process, ensuring that service providers meet the necessary requirements to minimise risks and uphold WHS standards across all business undertakings.
