National standards codes of practice and related guidance
One of the ASCC's key roles is to help achieve nationally consistent regulation by producing national standards as a model for laws in the states and territories.
The ASCC has the power to declare National OHS Standards and Codes of Practice. These documents are the basis for a nationally consistent OHS regulatory framework. The standards and codes of practice are not legally enforceable unless State and Territory governments adopt them as regulations under their principal OHS Acts.
Guidance notes provide further explanation on how to comply with the National Standard.
