OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY BILL 1989 - SELECT COMMITTEE
Report
MR STEFANIAK (4.04): It is with pleasure that I present the first report that this Assembly has actually completed, that is, the report of the Select Committee on the Occupational Health and Safety Bill 1989.
First, Mr Speaker, this has a fairly long and somewhat chequered history. There was an initial draft in 1988, which a number of groups saw and a number of groups did not.

On 25 May 1989, the Minister for Industry, Employment and Education, Mr Whalan, presented this Bill. On 11 May 1989, prior to the establishment of the ACT Executive, 600 copies were circulated. There was a limited consultation period and there was public consultation and comment. Indeed, there were two drafts: one in November 1988 and the other in April 1989. A committee was established on 25 May 1989
