FAQ
Does WHS software discharge my primary duty?
No. The primary duty (s 19 model WHS Act) is on the PCBU — software can support but doesn't shift the duty. Officers retain a personal due-diligence duty under s 27.
What about psychosocial hazards specifically?
Most platforms have added psychosocial-hazard modules since 2023. Verify your chosen platform supports the model code of practice + state-specific guidance for VIC, NSW, QLD as relevant.
