On 23 October 2014 the Western Australian State Government released a draft or “Green” Bill, the Work Health and Safety Bill 2014 (see: https://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/worksafe/work-health-and-safety-bill-2014)
The Work Health and Safety Bill 2014 is Western Australia’s version of harmonised health and safety legislation. The Bill is open for public comment until 30 January 2015, and details on how to submit a comment can be found at https://www.commerce.wa.gov.au/worksafe/work-health-and-safety-bill-2014
