Labour Hire Research Report

Worksafe project
 
In response to the 2005 Parliamentary Inquiry into Labour Hire Employment in Victoria, Monash University Australian Centre for Research in Employment and Work (ACREW) was commissioned by WorkSafe to conduct a qualitative research report on OHS in the labour hire industry.

In the report ACREW draws on interviews with stakeholders, practitioners, trainers, union officials and workers to produce case studies that illustrate progress towards best practice OHS management in the labour hire sector. The case studies demonstrate: 
  •  a commonality of understanding about OHS; 
  •  how a commitment to OHS management can enhance business value,
     including community, social, environmental and ethical goals; 
  •  how progress towards best practice is achievable within available
     resources, across small to large agencies and host organisations,
     and metropolitan and regional firms.
