About the role

When a business or individual is alleged to have committed an offence under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, they may be eligible to submit an enforceable undertaking (EU) as an alternative to prosecution. If accepted, an EU requires the person or business to invest time, money and resources to implement significant workplace, industry and community WHS improvements.

The EU team supports individuals and businesses throughout this process from initial contact with SafeWork NSW, through to the EU being accepted or rejected, and then ultimately verified to ensure completion of the EU. More information can be found here
