Christmas Party Duty of Care Checklist
Health & Safety
Share on:
Employers in Australia have a duty of care to their employers. Duty of care is a legal obligation to ensure that reasonable measures are taken where possible to avoid causing harm to your employees or others in the workplace. And if you think that you have no duty of care around the office Christmas party because its at another venue, think again!
For Australian employers and business owners, workplace events such as Christmas parties are also an extension of the workplace. Hence, all existing health and safety policies still apply and will carry the same consequences as if they were at work. It can be challenging to keep up with all duties, so we have come up with a handy checklist that is just what you need to have a safe and smooth festive season.
What's inside
- Preparing for workplace and off-site Christmas parties
- Things to remember during the Christmas party
