Do I need to comply with NOHSC / ASCC National Standards and Codes of Practice?
National Standards, National Codes of Practice and guidance material declared by the ASCC (formerly NOHSC) are advisory in nature and therefore have no legal standing until they are adopted into, or given effect by, legislation or regulations in the States and Territories. Specific questions on your legal obligations under OHS laws should be directed to the relevant OHS authority in your state or territory.
