Minister for Finance Robin Scott today announced the Labor Government would accept every recommendation of the Independent Review of Occupational Health and Safety Compliance and Enforcement in Victoria.
The review was a Labor Government election commitment and made 22 recommendations – all of which the Government supports in principle.
Implementing the recommendations will complement the work already done on WorkSafe’s Strategy 2030, which aims to create safer and healthier Victorian workplaces by transforming WorkSafe into a streamlined service delivery organisation.
A key element will be the incorporation of innovative and modern technology.
