Work Health & Safety (WHS) in Western Australia
Meet your Western Australia work health and safety duties — policies, risk and incidents handled, not left to paperwork.
The short answer
In Western Australia, work health and safety is regulated by WorkSafe WA. Valont helps a Western Australia 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.
