Work Safety Law in ACT
How ISO 45001 Fits With ACT Work Safety Law
Every employer in Canberra has legal duties under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (ACT), enforced by WorkSafe ACT. These duties apply whether or not you hold any certification.
ISO 45001:2018 is a voluntary international standard that sits alongside those legal duties — it does not replace them. It gives you a systematic, auditable and globally recognised way to manage workplace health and safety, the kind of assurance that clients, principal contractors and supply chains increasingly ask Canberra businesses to provide. UCS audits and certifies your management system against ISO 45001:2018; meeting your ACT legal duties remains your responsibility.
