Katherine Morris, Partner, Norton Rose Fulbright
In this session, we will explore four of the key issues and trends affecting organisations globally from a work health and safety legal perspective, both now and in the future; global WHS regulation, the rise of technology, changing workforce populations and structures and psychosocial hazards and risks.
In examining these trends, we have been struck by the way that many issues have the potential to both positively and negatively impact health and safety outcomes. We have also been struck by the interconnectedness between many of the issues, such as the anticipated impact of the rise of technology and the ageing of population on the psychosocial health and safety of workers.
During the session, updates will also be provided on the significant officer liability decisions (both acquittals and convictions) under WHS due diligence laws in Australia and New Zealand.
