Our research proposes changes to the National Compliance and Enforcement Policy and the development of additional guidance such that inspectors can more easily identify which tool (or combination of tools) will generate the desired behaviour change. Our recommendations have been cited in the national model WHS legislation review and, if implemented, will have impacts on not only the regulators and inspectors who use enforcement tools but the businesses that receive them.
