Operating Rules

The Melbourne Market Operating Rules ensure the Market remains a safe place for people to visit, work and trade. It is your responsibility to understand and follow these rules, which are enforced through a demerit points system connected to each employer.
Whatever your role, you have a legal duty of care to work in a manner that is not harmful to your health, safety and environment - and/or the health of others, which includes behaving in an orderly manner and keeping the Market a clean workplace.
