Work Health & Safety (WHS) in Queensland
Meet your Queensland work health and safety duties — policies, risk and incidents handled, not left to paperwork.
The short answer
In Queensland, work health and safety is regulated by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland (WHSQ). Valont helps a Queensland business meet its WHS duty of care — safety policies, risk assessments, incident reporting, worker induction and return-to-work — so officers can show the due diligence the WHS laws expect, rather than discovering a gap after something goes wrong.
