Misrepresent-
ation

The WHS Act also prohibits Person A from:

• knowingly or recklessly,

• making a false or misleading representation,

• to Person B about Person B’s:

  • rights and/or obligations under the WHS Act, or

  • ability to either:

    • initiate and/or participate in a process or proceedings under the WHS Act, or

    • make a complaint or inquiry to a person or body empowered under the WHS Act to seek compliance with the Act.

However, this prohibition does not apply if Person B would not be expected to rely on Person A’s representation.
