The Bakery Trades - OH&S

The old adage - an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure - is never more true than in our workplaces. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Laws make it clear that everyone who can affect health and safety at work has a role to play in protecting it. Therefore, it is our responsibility to ensure we are aware of the critical components involved in ensuring a safe workplace and how to maintain these standards.
