The agency is required to provide employees with information, instruction, training or supervision needed for them to work safely and without risk to their health.

Confirm that procedures are in place for labour hire workers to report hazards to the host employer, and that those copies are sent to the labour hire agency and negotiated to improve the risk controls if they are found to be inadequate.
It is the agency’s duty to maintain workplaces under their management and control in a condition that is safe and without health risks, along with providing adequate facilities for the welfare of employees at workplaces.
