Abstract
The time has come—in fact, is overdue—to undertake a fundamental reappraisal of the style of occupational health and safety legislation being adopted in Australia. The Robens-style legislation, rather than individual pieces of legislation, is examined in context in all those states and territories that have adopted it, or moved to do so. This is important not only because no one Act is unique, but also because all these Acts and their implications cannot be properly understood or evaluated without seeing them as part of a process at work, both here and in Britain, of attempting to use legislation to prevent or limit occupational injury and disease.
