What is Due Diligence?

The requirements of the due diligence are defined to include the following six elements:

 1. Knowledge of WHS matters; and
 2. Understanding of the nature of the operations of the organisation and the hazards and risks associated with those operations; and
 3. Resources and processes; and
 4. Information regarding incidents, hazards and risks and responding in a timely way to that information; and
 5. Legal compliance; and
 6. Verifying the provision and use of those resources and processes.

The net result of effective due diligence is knowledge.
