Employers have a duty to provide a healthy and safe workplace for all workers.
Safe Work Australia has developed a new information sheet for employers on communicating with migrant and multicultural workers about work health and safety, and a residential aged care case study.
The information sheet provides an overview of employer’s duties and workers’ rights, and ways to manage work health and safety risks to migrant and multicultural workers.
The case study provides practical examples of how to communicate and consult with multicultural and migrant workers in a residential aged care setting.
