WHS Compliance and Field Services Proactive Compliance Program 2024–2027

The Work Health and Safety (WHS) Compliance and Field Services Proactive Compliance Program 2024–2027 guides Workplace Health and Safety Queensland’s (WHSQ’s) proactive work program. It identifies proactive compliance priorities based on the WHSQ Priority Plan 2024–2030 and operational data.

The program outlines planned compliance activities for 2024–2027 across priority industries, priority hazards and those workers most vulnerable to risks to their health and safety at work. It adopts a risk-based approach which will assist increasing WHS compliance levels across Queensland workplaces.

Priority areas:

• Construction
• Manufacturing
• Transport and Warehousing
