Model Workplace Health & Safety Laws Survey

For businesses that have workers living or travelling overseas for work

Though the current Work Health and Safety Acts in Australia have been in place for a few years, legal action is starting to see them put into effect.

This survey is to understand familiarity with these laws, what travel risks are affecting Australian business travellers and the biggest challenges organisations are facing in ensuring traveller safety.

We value your opinion and would appreciate it if you could take three minutes to complete this questionnaire; thank you very much in advance for your contribution. Please be assured that all answers provided will be kept in the strictest confidentiality. The survey will close on Friday 31st August 2019.
