New Laws Set to Save Lives

Wednesday, 4 December 2019 - 8:30am to 9:00am

This week new laws passed the Victorian parliament making industrial manslaughter a crime. We speak with the head of the VTHC's OHS unit about the new laws - what do they mean for bosses and workers, how could they save lives and how do they compare with laws in other states.

We also explore the OHS concerns and hazards confronting workers, volunteers and members of the public due to the ever growing threat of bushfires.

As always, a wrap up of the week's union news - following the defeat of the Federal Government's anti-union legislation in the senate.
