WA - Managing outdoor work environment and facilities

Workers undertaking outdoor activities like logging, mining exploration, gardening, landscaping or construction should have access to eating spaces and toilet facilities.

This Code provides guidance on how to manage the risks associated with the work environment and facilities in the workplace using the following systematic process:

• Identify hazards – find out what could cause harm.
• Assess risks, if necessary – understand the nature of the harm that could be caused by the hazard, how serious the harm could be and the likelihood of it happening. This step may not be necessary if you are dealing with a known risk with known controls.
• Control risks – implement the most effective control measures that are reasonably practicable in the circumstances in accordance with the hierarchy of control measures, and ensure they remain effective over time.
• Review control measures to ensure they are working as planned.
