Under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act all Supervisors have a range of responsibilities concerning work health and safety and injury management.

Supervisors usually have the responsibility of ensuring employees adhere to WHS policies and procedures, identify and report on any incidents, psychosocial risks and hazards as well as a range of training obligations and management of employees returning to work following injury.

The WHS Responsibilities For Supervisor document provides an outline of responsibilities which Supervisors are usually required to perform to assist with compliance with applicable laws.
