Does your retail business stop traffic?

From 1 July 2020, the Traffic Control Training (TCT) scheme will transfer from Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) to SafeWork NSW. The scheme will fall under the Work Health and Safety Act as the Work Health and Safety Amendment (Traffic Control Work Training) Regulation 2019.

What this means for your business in retail is that if you have deliveries to your store or loading dock, or carry out any other work that requires you to stop traffic or pedestrians, that are on or adjacent to a public road, then the workers you direct to do so will need to be trained.

The changes will make it mandatory for workers to hold the relevant:

  • SafeWork NSW Traffic Control Work Training (TCWT) card, or
  • RMS Traffic Control Training Photo Card.

If any of your workers currently hold an RMS Traffic Control Photo card they will continue to be recognised after 1 July 2020, until the card expires. Prior to the RMS card expiring workers will need to convert to a SafeWork NSW Traffic Control Work Training card. This can be done any time after 1 July 2020 online by simply following the link at the end of this article.

All Persons Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBUs) will need to ensure that workers have completed the mandatory training and hold the right card for the type of traffic control work being undertaken. New fines of up to $18,000 have been introduced for PCBUs who do not ensure that their workers have undertaken the appropriate training.

Further information regarding requirements for PCBUs and workers can be found within the Regulations and from the SafeWork NSW website.

For more information, visit SafeWork NSW or NSW Legislation website or call 13 10 50.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant.
