It has been assumed that Australian businesses that have continued to operate during the COVID19 pandemic have been maintaining their occupational health and safety (OHS) audits and assessment; and that the safety regulators have been inspecting workplaces.

The findings are interesting but perhaps of more interest is the questions that were asked and how the answers were verified.
