Workcover are interested in records ... and proof of active assessment of safe working procedures and equipment checks ... and risk assessments are completed.
See attached http://www.workcover.nsw.gov.au/NR/r...list_1284a.pdf
From my understanding, risk assessments ... once done ... only need to be reviewed
- if 5 years have elapsed
- when work practices change
- new equipment or work-method is introduced
- a near-miss situation occurs

Other states should visit
Employer obligations in your state or territory
