If a person has two or more functions or set of obligations at a work site, the person must meet all of them (OHS Act s.13).

If a person has two or more functions or set of obligations at a work site, the person must meet all of them (OHS Act s.13).

• A. They must meet only one of the obligations
• B. They must meet all of the obligations
• C. They must meet the majority of obligations
• D. They are exempt from some duties

Answer: (B)

When a person has more than one function or set of obligations at a work site, every duty tied to each role applies to that person. The requirements treat these obligations as cumulative, so you must fulfill all of them to be fully compliant. This protects safety by ensuring there aren’t gaps in responsibilities just because someone wears multiple hats. For example, if you’re responsible for general worker duties and also have a specific safety role, you must follow both sets of duties, not just one. If you were to meet only one or mostly the duties, or claim some are exempt, safety standards could be undermined, which is why the rule requires meeting all obligations.
