Case: Shawn has recently moved interstate and started a new job. On his first day at the new workplace Shawn identifies a hazard and tells colleague John about it. John tells Shawn that he needs to report it, but Shawn doesn't know if this is part of duty of care.
Shawn goes on the internet and finds the WHS Act and Regulations relevant to his new State. He then located the section of the Act and Regulations relevant to duty holders that are workers. The information confirms that Shawn has a duty of care to report this hazard to his manager.
Shawn knows that every work place has a different system for managing work health and safety so he refers to the WHS policy, procedures and code of conduct of his new workplace. As he reads through the documents he discovers that there is an elected Health and Safety Representative (HSR) that can help him with WHS matters.
Shawn consults with the HSR Robert about the issue and Robert explains that Shawn needs to raise the issue with the manager Tua, and that Tua will be responsible for following it up with Shawn, the HSR and other workers until the issue is resolved.
