- an overview of the reforms
- implications of provisions concerning consultation
- implications of the remote and isolated work provisions
- an explanation of the issue resolution provisions
- advice regarding HSR and committee functions and practical solutions for management.
Ai Group will also provide a brief update on the TWU’s ‘Safe Rates’ campaign, including the introduction of the Road Safety Remuneration Bill 2011 into Federal Parliament. If passed in its current form, the Bill would have major impact on both employers and hirers of owner drivers.
