1 PURPOSE
This Summary Legal Register is current as at May 2013
In this Register, Brierty Limited is referred to as the Company (Company). The purpose of the OH&S system
is to control the impact of the Companys activities and, to the greatest extent practicable, to ensure
operations are conducted in accordance with existing legislative requirements.
Legal compliance is part of the overall risk management strategy of Brierty and through the implementation
of AS/NZS - 4801:2001 and ISO 14001:2004, in combination with this standard, a framework for
implementing and maintaining an effective safety and environmental compliance program is set out.
A compliance program is an important element in the corporate governance and due diligence of an
organisation, and should aim to prevent and where necessary, identify and respond to, breaches of laws,
regulations, codes of practice or organisational policy and standards, promote a culture of compliance and
assist Brierty in remaining a good corporate citizen.

identify legal and other requirements. This involves more than just having copies of legislation it involves
knowing the obligations, keeping them updated and having suitable controls to ensure compliance. Brierty
