This easy to follow handbook is a great example of support that can be provided to officers who need to understand their role, duties and activities to be taken under s44 of the HSWA 2015. This helpful resource also provides some example questions and conversation prompts for officers to have with their workers and aligns with the Business Leaders Health and Safety Forum document.
