Christmas Party Duty of Care Checklist

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.

Managing Threatening Situations at Work

Customer-facing businesses often face the risk of things going wrong. Whether it be someone who is waiting long to get their food or facing a delay in seeing a healthcare practitioner, there are situations where customers can get aggressive or violent. In such threatening situations, employees are at risk and need to be aware of health and safety protocols and appropriate responses. This awareness among employees needs to be established with training, management, and support. As a business owner and employer, it is your duty to ensure that you minimise the risks of threatening situations and protect your employees. We have created a free, easy to use fact sheet for business owners and employes on ways to manage threatening situations and preparing your employees. Download the free fact sheet today.
