Occupational Health & Safety

Occupational Health & Safety

Occupational Health and Safety has become paramount for all businesses in NSW regardless of their size.

NSW OH&S legislation is one of the most onerous requirements for employers, exceeding safety standards in every other jurisdiction. The requirement for employers to guarantee the safety of their employees makes for a difficult task, especially for employers with limited resources and a lack of expertise.

NECA NSW has developed a number of strategies and tools to assist members to meet their legislative requirements. Limited resources, high penalties imposed on employers for a breach of the legislation, a strict liability regime and NECA's vast knowledge in the field make membership to NECA a must for all electrical contracting companies in NSW.

NECA provides a wealth of support to its members pertaining to Occupational Health and Safety by means of professional advice and assistance to help electrical contractors to not only meet their legislative requirements but to assist in the implementation of authentic health and safety solutions.
