    It’s the contractors or their actual employers that must ensure that the workplace meets the WHS requirements for the work they are doing.

    According to this factsheet (which admittedly is seven years old) it’s a joint responsibility beween the contractor and the client.
    But something else occurs to me – how are individual contractors supposed to ensure that a strata block’s equipment is work safe? The simple answer would be the provision of a certificate by the strata manager or committee to prove installations like roof anchors had been checked.
