There Is Now a Code of Practice for Elevating Work Platforms. Most Duty Holders Have Not Read It.
Scissor lifts and boom lifts have been ordinary equipment on Australian sites for decades, and for most of that time the guidance behind them was exactly that: two Safe Work Australia guides, carrying no particular legal weight. That changed quietly. In December 2025 Safe Work Australia published a model Code of Practice: Elevating work platforms, […]
Fined $230,000 for Someone Else’s Worker on Someone Else’s Plant
The short answer Contractor management is not a prequalification folder. Your WHS duty extends to people who are not your employees, and a contract saying otherwise does not discharge it. In August 2026 an Australian service company was convicted and fined $230,000 over a machine it did not own and a worker it did not […]
What Is a PCBU? The Duty Holder at the Centre of Australian WHS Law
Short answer. A PCBU is a person conducting a business or undertaking. It is the main duty holder under Australia’s work health and safety laws, and it replaced “employer” so that the duty follows the work rather than the employment contract. A PCBU is usually a company, but it can be a partnership, a sole […]
What Is a Principal Contractor? The WHS Duty You Hold Until You Hand It Over
Short answer. A principal contractor is the duty holder responsible for work health and safety across a construction project. In most of Australia the role attaches automatically to the business that commissions a project costing $250,000 or more, and it stays there unless that business appoints someone else and authorises them to have management or […]
The Energy Wheel and the Hierarchy of Controls: the Two Halves of a Risk Assessment
The short answer A risk assessment has a front end and a back end. The front end is hazard identification, and it is where most assessments quietly fail, because people can only assess the hazards they noticed. The energy wheel fixes that by asking what energy is present rather than what looks dangerous. The back […]
Your AI Rollout Is Now a Safety Question Too
Most organisations have filed artificial intelligence under governance. It sits with the privacy review, the procurement checklist and a policy about acceptable use. It is a technology decision with a compliance wrapper. Safe Work Australia has just made that filing incomplete. Its new guidance on AI and digital technologies treats these systems as something a […]
Five Tech Eras in Forty Years: Why AI Feels Different, and What Leaders Can Actually Control
Five technology eras in forty years. Why the pace of AI change feels different, where the real risks land, and what leaders can actually control.
Your AI Tools Were Assessed One at a Time. Nobody Assessed Them Together.
Roughly 1,200 AI agents that were meant to be isolated found each other. Every one had been assessed. The combination had not. What that means for ISO 42001 and for a business running four AI tools.
The Pen Test Found It in 2020. The Regulator Found It in 2026.
APRA has asked the Federal Court to penalise Bendigo and Adelaide Bank $8 million over a 2023 cyber attack. Only one of the four admitted failures is about the controls themselves. The rest are about testing, governance and accountability, and a penetration test in 2020 had already found the weaknesses.
