Do you get your OHS advice from a 'suitably qualified' OHS professional?

The OHS Act, 2004 requires employers to obtain OHS advice from 'suitably qualified' persons. What does 'suitably qualified' mean - and are you getting the right OHS advice from the right people?

Your OHS advisor must be able to demonstrate to you that they have:

  • Relevant knowledge, qualifications and understand the current state of OHS legislation
  • Industry experience with employers of like size and structure
  • Participate in professional activity
  • A good reputation within the profession and can provide referees
  • Is a member of a relevant professional association
  • Can communicate clearly and explain what needs to be done
  • Technical expertise
  • Understanding of OHS legislation
  • Risk management principles - consistent with the principle of eliminating hazards and providing the highest level of protection
