Guidelines for Workers Compensation Act and OHS Regulation
Guidelines are intended to assist with providing ways of complying with the legislation, not to provide exclusive interpretations. Many sections of the Workers Compensation Act (WCA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation have associated guidelines.
More background information on policies and guidelines, and on the hierarchy of authority among the WCA, OHS Regulation, policies, and guidelines, is available in "About Prevention Policy and the OHS Guidelines" (PDF 79 KB).
