No its not always the bosses fault, and no you don't have to stand there watching them, you have to have implemented effective management systems that satisfy the written regulations, if none exist (as is the case for tree work) for your industry or activity then you must adopt the Australian Advisary Standard or Code of Practice if none exists in your state (as is the case in Qld) then match (or exceed) the equivalent set of standards in operation in other states.
The Australian Standards were written to be used not just looked at and put on a shelf...everything needed to satisfy the Act is within the relevant AS....Risk Management AS4360 is one of the larger more comprehensive ones.
