The accommodation services industry can pose health and safety risks for workers and visitors. The work may be physically demanding and carried out under pressure, leading to a higher risk of injuries. Workers also engage with the public which can increase the risk of violence and harassment.
SWA is not a regulator and cannot advise you about WHS issues in the workplace. If you need help please contact your state or territory work health and safety authority.
