When an OHS officer observes that work is being carried out in a manner that is unhealthy or unsafe for workers, the officer may issue a stop work order. A stop work order requires that work is stopped immediately, and may apply to an entire work site, or to certain activities or areas of a work site. A stop work order is lifted when the requirements of the order are met.
