make this policy available to all Assembly members for their information once it has gone through the consultation process.

With regard to the private sector, the ACT Occupational Health and Safety Office is examining the Federal Court decision for its implications in the ACT and I will advise the Assembly of the outcome of that examination.

The Occupational Health and Safety Office encourages consultative mechanisms to minimise health risks from passive smoking in the workplace. It has a resource base on smoking issues, and can provide information to employers, employees, and the general public. The OH and S office is the coordinating agency for the Worksafe Australia national consensus statement on smoking in the workplace, and this statement is on the agenda for discussion at the March 1991 ACT Occupational Health and Safety Council meeting. The consensus statement will be made available to Assembly members on request.
