Developed to provide a framework for policies, procedures and guidelines for the administration of a best practice injury prevention and management system across the public sector; the Code is designed to meet the legislative requirements of South Australia’s Work Health and Safety Act 2012 and the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1986. It provides the framework for both injury prevention and management for chief executives, managers, supervisors, workers, injury prevention and management practitioners, health and safety representatives and committees. This framework provides guidance to undertake respective duties, functions and responsibilities to prevent harm arising from hazards in public sector workplaces and to ensure that if injuries do occur, workers are rehabilitated and returned to safe work as soon as possible.
