In the fast pace day of the small business owner the last thing on their mind is OHS. Most are trying to make a buck, not finding out if their induction system is up to date. Problem is that the law does not agree. Somethings got to give! I agree. In the fast pace day of the small business owner the last thing on their mind is OHS.

I'm hoping to get back into the workforce at a management level within the retail sector and this way I can introduce an OHS workplace safety system from the Management level down. I currently have just completed my certificate IV and studying OHS has fuelled my personal passion to bring it to the employees where ever I am.
