We also represent PCBUs for SafeWork SA investigations and provide advice in respect of Work Health and Safety Act compliance.
While our specialists' key focus is to support and defend our clients, while minimising costs, we also invest time to inform clients about relevant aspects of law and their application. Clients need the knowledge to develop strategies that will create better systems, protocols and policies to improve efficiencies and minimise the financial risk of workplace related legal issues.
