Which obligation do Suppliers have under the OHS Act?

• A. Ensure equipment they supply is in safe operating condition
• B. Provide marketing materials for the site
• C. Handle all payroll duties
• D. Coordinate client product launches

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that suppliers have a duty to ensure the equipment they provide is safe to use. This means they should supply equipment that is in safe operating condition, with appropriate safety information and instructions, and they should address any safety issues, defects, or recalls so that what reaches workplaces won’t create hazards. The other options aren’t about safety responsibilities you’d expect from a supplier under health and safety laws—they involve marketing, payroll, or product launches, which aren’t H&S obligations. So the obligation that best fits the act is ensuring the equipment they supply is in safe operating condition.
