Potential Inconsistencies in Worker Protection Standards Under Queensland Legislation

A study by Lisa Enfantie proposes to examine potential inconsistencies in the standards of protection afforded to workers under three pieces of workplace health and safety legislation in Queensland. The research focuses on differences in nomenclature across the Acts and whether they create disparity in risk management requirements for workers. The dataset, last updated on 2026-06-04, is hosted on figshare.
