Under Work Cover Act (2003)
you have a 'duty of care' to your
employees and your public. WorkCover
includes all public government
services, real estate agents, the
building Industry, body corporates,
shopping centres and even the local
bank. Under legislation, you have a
'duty of care' towards staff and the
general public.
For example:
- syringes found on a building
site
- syringes in the carpark at your
workplace
- vomit and other body fluids in
public transport
- common areas in a unit block
splattered with blood
- syringes blocking a drain where
plumbers are working
- human defecation in a public
areas eg., common areas of unit
blocks, lifts, stairwells
- sewage leaks from blocked
toilets
- vomit, used condoms or other
waste in public toilets or
nightclubs
- a new tenant moving into her new
apartment finds syringes under the
laundry tub
'Out of sight' might be
'out of mind' however,
biohazards may not be visible to
your eye. Biohazards always
present a danger to the public.
