Site Rules

The Site Administrator, and any Moderators appointed by the Site Owner (the Office of the ACT OHS Commissioner), reserve the unreserved right to remove material and or ban Members at any time.

The Safety Forum enables members to upload material for sharing with others (files, videos, photos, etc.).  The Member who has uploaded such information remains responsible for any copyright or similar obligations under any relevant law.  While the site stores such information on their behalf, it is still the Member's material and the Safety Forum accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of such material or for obligations in terms of copyright, intellectual property rights and the like pertaining to it.

Members should not post personal information such as telephone numbers, addresses, etc. (though businesses may choose to do so for commercial reasons).  Always give careful consideration to the information you post about yourself on this site and which you therefore choose to share with others.

Members must sign up using their real name or business name.  The use of false names only creates the prospect of deception or misuse of a Member account.  You should never choose to sign up using the name of another person.

You are entirely responsible for maintaining the security of your password.  A Member may not use another Member's account or password at any time, or disclose any Member's password (including their own) to a third party.  You should notify the Office of the ACT OHS Commissioner if you suspect unauthorised use of an account or a password at any time.

You should never respond to an online request for a password other than in connection with the log-in process.  Any disclosure of your own password is entirely at your own risk and will not be accepted as a reason for inappropriate use of your account.

Advertisements should not be posted on the Forum, other than on a Member's own 'My Page'.  This is a social networking site, not another opportunity for advertising.  The posting of advertising has the potential to seriously diminish the experience for other Members.

That having been said, businesses/consultants/providers/suppliers are encouraged to join the Forum and actively participate - and there are many ways for those Members to promote and/or explain their services and products using the Forum.  This will no doubt be an invaluable element of the Forum experience.  We simply ask that Members do this in a way that does not flood the site with promotional material.

A Provider listing and a Training Calendar link has been provided as a valid means for such Members to promote their services and products.  The Events listing should be reserved for special events and should not include training courses.

The Office of the ACT OHS Commissioner is also open to reasonable suggestions regarding other ways businesses can promote their products and services without impinging upon the enjoyment of the site by other Members.

You may cancel your membership at any time.  Simply notify the Office of the ACT OHS Commissioner which will then arrange for your membership and account to be deleted.
