Abstract

This report has been produced at the request of Fisheries Western Australia ("Fisheries Department") as a result of a fixed term consultancy by Pacific Management Systems Pty Ltd ("Pacific").

In essence, the Terms of Reference require consideration of the interaction and possible conflict between the principal piece of legislation governing safety and health of employees in Western Australian workplaces, the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984 ('OSH Act'), and the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 ('FRM Act') being the principal source of legislation in respect of the management of Western Australia's fish resources.

Concerns with regard to the possible conflict between the OSH Act and the FRM Act appear to have been first raised, at least formally, in the WorkSafe investigation and report into the capsizing of the Saint Maddalena in 1992 ("Saint Maddalena Report").
