Neither does it replace the need for sound legal advice. Some of the concepts will be new to some working in OHS and some of them will not receive universal agreement. Most of it is personal opinion formed by my critical reflection on my experiences in health and safety, that reflection has been enhanced by exposure to the considerable health and safety research and practice of Brisbane OHS consultant, Geoff McDonald
