Jason, I agree that enforceable undertaking elements are applicable however the effectiveness of communication remains a problem. Relying on a national newspaper for public statements is ineffective. Firstly, it only appeals to the readers of that newspaper. National newspaper readership is comparatively very low. Digital versions of newspapers and their website usually do not run the equivalent of full-page ads or even classified ads. A public statement in a newspaper is an historical statement and record but if we are seeking deterrence and an improved state of knowledge, it is expensive and inefficient.

Better resourced OHS regulators could do much of your last point, but regulators are very rarely and even then, usually temporarily resourced adequately. Government are unlikely to implement any strategies that could jeopardise the creation of jobs. Employers create jobs, so employers hold sway.
