Codes of practice
Codes of practice are supplementary to requirements under the Acts and regulations. They are intended to supplement such requirements in a uniform way and, as far as possible, clarify any ambiguity or uncertainty in the Acts and regulations. Codes of practice also set out requirements and recommendations on aspects that are not explicitly covered by regulations.

Health and safety alerts
The department publishes significant incident reports and safety bulletins on reported incidents and accidents. These safety alerts allow information to be communicated to industry and the public with the hope that similar incidents can be prevented.
Significant incidents reports cover individual incidents or accidents. Safety bulletins are produced to highlight safety concerns where there has been a cluster or trend of similar incidents, whether in Western Australia or worldwide.
The department also releases dangerous goods safety alerts, so that the learnings can be shared.
