Victorian OHS FAQs
Common questions about hazardous chemical compliance in Victoria.
What penalties apply for non-compliance in Victoria?
WorkSafe Victoria can issue improvement notices, prohibition notices, and infringement notices. Serious breaches can result in prosecution with penalties up to $3.3 million for corporations and over $300,000 for individuals under the OHS Act 2004.
Why does Victoria use OHS instead of WHS?
Victoria retained its own Occupational Health and Safety legislation rather than adopting the harmonised national WHS laws. While the terminology differs, the requirements for hazardous chemical management are largely similar across all Australian jurisdictions.
