Introduction
The Hospitality industry may not seem, at first glance, to be a not
particularly dangerous one. However, there are definite risks associated
with the industry. In reality, there are many opportunities for injuries and
accidents. This isn't very surprising considering that people work with
knives, explosive gases and wet areas that can become very slippery.
Every Hospitality business is required to provide a safe, healthy and
secure workplace for their employees. Every Hospitality worker is
required to follow the Work Health and Safety (WHS) procedures,
practices and guidelines of their workplace. This means that everyone
involved in the business has a responsibility for WHS. Nobody wants to
be responsible for injuring someone or, at worst, causing someone's
death.

Why is WHS Important?
The primary reason for WHS legislation is to make every workplace a safe and
healthy one. WHS legislation is extensive, continually changing and job-specific.
This reflects the importance that society puts on safety at work. After all, when we
spend the majority of our waking life at work, we don't want to be at risk of injury,
illness or death!
WHS legislation is designed to minimise the risks involved, but can never stop
accidents completely.
Industrial accidents result in not only actual costs in dollar terms, but there is also
the emotional trauma suffered by the worker and their colleagues, friends and
relatives. WHS is the responsibility of all.
Statistics show that workers in their 30s and 50s incur the most injuries.
