The Aims and Role of the Stakeholder / Regulator Forum
The Role of the Stakeholder/Regulator Forums
The aim of the national stakeholder/regulator forum is to discuss issues of a strategic nature between industry representatives and Australian OHS regulators.
The role of the forum is to provide an opportunity for constructive consultation with industry and provides all operators and owners an opportunity to raise their concerns and matters of national importance in an official capacity through their respective associations. This forum is to be held annually in conjunction with the Australian Amusement Leisure and Recreation Association (AALARA) conference.
The Role of the National Regulators Amusement Device Committee
This committee is an initiative of the Heads of Workplace Safety Authority (HWSA). South Australia was nominated as the lead jurisdiction to coordinate the national action plan and to commence consultation with industry. The national action plan was developed in consultation and agreement between all Australian regulators and New Zealand.
The action plan addresses issues concerning national consistency, regulators auditing strategy, engineering inspections, design registration, item registration, emerging issues (like rider restraints) and current research and initiatives in the industry.
A key aspect of the action plan was the development of a National Regulators Amusement Device Committee who had its inaugural meeting in July 2004. This committee has a representative from every Australian and New Zealand jurisdiction, meets bi-annually, but has the opportunity to meet at other times as required, to implement the action plan.
Ian Markos (as Chairperson of the National Committee) explained that the regulators committee combined with this stakeholder forum was an excellent opportunity to create sustainable improvements in relation to consistency of operations across Australia and to establish open, fair and meaningful industry relations.
