Codes of Practice

Managing the Work Environment and Facilities

This model Code of Practice applies to all types of work and all workplaces covered by the WHS Act and Regulations applying in a jurisdiction, including workplaces that are mobile, temporary and remote. It has been developed to provide practical guidance for persons conducting a business or undertaking on how to provide and maintain a physical work environment that is without risks to health and safety. This Code covers:

the physical work environment, such as workspace, lighting and ventilation
facilities for workers, including toilets, drinking water, washing and dining areas, change rooms, personal storage and shelter
remote and isolated work, and
emergency plans.
To have legal effect in a jurisdiction, the model Code of Practice must be approved as a code of practice in that jurisdiction. To determine if this model Code of Practice has been approved as a code of practice in a particular jurisdiction, check with the relevant regulator.
