WorkSafe issues warning after Perth assessor loses accreditation to carry out HRWL assessments

A warning has been issued by WorkSafe WA to assessors, industry stakeholders, and the public after a Perth-based assessor’s High Risk Work Licence accreditation revoked for failing to conduct proper assessments of license applicants.
