The Water Directorate is an associate member of the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA). WSAA is currently producing a suite of best practice documents for OH&S risk management or minimum risk treatments. WSAA has prioritised its 12 top OH&S risks and the first minimum risk treatment on Excavations will be published on 1st December 2008.
As mentioned in the Water Directorate's September 08 newsletter, the draft WSAA minimum risk treatment on Excavations can be downloaded for awareness and any comments are welcome back to the Water Directorate.
