Children's Services OHS Compliance Kit
WorkSafe in conjunction with the AEU, KPV and other key stakeholders have contributed to the development of an OHS information kit for early childhood services. It was released March 2010. This kit helps identify key hazards in the sector and how staff and employers can implement practical solutions. An online kit can be obtained here. Make this information part of your next meeting with staff and your employer.
