OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
OHS Information for Volunteers
Employers are responsible for the health and safety of all workers, including volunteers. When working with volunteers it is essential that local government councils:
- ensure that volunteers have appropriate skills, training and supervision to perform the work safely
- when necessary, provide them with suitable personal protective equipment
Worksafe Victoria provide information on their website that can help organisations and volunteers better understand their health and safety rights and responsibilities.
