Regulations Regulations are the way that the legislation is applied. They are generally very specific in nature and are also referred to as 'rules' or 'administrative law'. These are administrative 'rules' that describe rights and allocate responsibilities. They can take many forms such as being legal restrictions established by a government authority, a self-regulating mechanism for an industry such as a trade association, social regulations such as 'norms', co-regulation or market regulation. They are actions of conduct imposing sanctions such as a fine. Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011: These regulations complement the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 by providing more detailed requirements for managing specific risks, such as hazardous chemicals, manual handling, and noise exposure. National Employment Standards (NES): Part of the Fair Work Act 2009, the NES outlines 11 minimum employment entitlements that have to be provided to all employees. This includes maximum weekly hours, annual leave, personal/carer's leave, and flexible working arrangements.
