Industry offence reference tool

Industry Offence Finder

The Industry Offence Finder is designed to make offence identification faster, clearer and more practical for every organisation. Instead of searching through different laws and documents separately, users can filter by sector, industry and offence category to quickly understand the possible offence, relevant legislation, legal description, organisational application and punishment. This makes the table a powerful reference tool for managers, trainers, investigators, compliance officers and decision-makers.

It also helps users recognise legal risks before problems become serious. Whether you are preparing a report, advising management, conducting training, reviewing workplace incidents or improving compliance awareness, this tool gives you a simple starting point. The Industry Offence Finder does not replace legal advice, but it helps organisations ask better questions, make better recommendations and take more informed action.

Important Notice: This tool is for training, compliance awareness and general reference only. It is not legal advice and does not decide whether an offence has been committed. Please verify the latest law and seek professional legal advice before relying on this information for any report, investigation, disciplinary action or management decision.
