The venue must provide a safe working environment for all workers and visitors. This includes conducting risk assessments, maintaining safe premises and equipment, providing adequate training and supervision, consulting workers on safety matters, and reporting notifiable incidents to SafeWork NSW. Officers (including directors) have a due-diligence duty to ensure the venue complies.

SafeWork NSW improvement notices, prohibition notices, on-the-spot fines, prosecution. Category 1 offences carry penalties up to $3M for a body corporate and up to 5 years imprisonment for an officer.
Consequences are summarised from the underlying legislation. Specific penalties depend on the breach pattern, prior history, and the regulator's enforcement posture. Talk to a liquor and gaming lawyer for a definitive view of your venue's exposure.
