What this job is

WHS Coordinators are responsible for keeping workplaces safe and legally compliant. Day to day, that means identifying hazards, maintaining safety records, running inductions, investigating incidents, and making sure the organisation follows relevant WHS legislation. The role is practical and procedural. It involves a lot of documentation, communication with workers at all levels, and follow-through on corrective actions. It is not a purely desk-based role. WHS Coordinators often walk the floor, inspect work areas, and talk directly with the people doing the work.
