That is it! Of course, if you want make a custom cover page, or spend as long as you want adding your own content, you can. Most companies find the OHS Policies are up to date, and ready to print.
After customising your system, we suggest you give each employee their OHS Manual 48 hours prior to inducting them into the company policies. SafetyCulture provides Online Inductions, or you can simply talk through each of the policies with your employees. Print a copy of the employee policy agreement for your employees to sign and then keep a copy on file.
Yes, you should have an OHS Diary or recording station wherever workers spend most of their time. Individual diaries can be purchased from our online store. What specifications does my computer need to have to use the OHS System? Your computer is required to have Microsoft Word 2000 or later installed. With Microsoft Word you are able to view, edit and print the OHS System.
Every employer is required to provide a safe system of work for their employees. You need to have a written structure to your system, ensuing it can be updated, so that employees are given the same message and you have documented evidence of what has been supplied.
A policy is the guiding light. What the company sees as its objective. Example: We value our image so no damaged vehicles will be allowed on the road.
A Work Method Statement is the nuts and bolts of how you do things. Example: You will report all damage to vehicles to the supervisor as soon as it occurs. The supervisor will obtain a replacement hire vehicle. Two quotes will be obtained sort of like an Act and the Regulations. One outlines the overall aim and the other tells you what/how you are to do things.
Yes, although the level of risk varies from industry to industry, every employer has a legal obligation to provide a Safe Work System. Workplace policies form part of a OHS System.
This is a common misconception amongst employers. No Government workplace inspector will ever give you a written letter stating that you are now complying with all of your obligations as an employer. It is similar to driving an unregistered vehicle and being pulled over for a random breath test. Just because the officer fails to realize that your vehicle is unregistered, doesn't make it ok to drive. This is precisely what happens when an inspector pays a visit. They are a visual presence to raise awareness and compliance, they generally look at obvious visual risks. Inspectors do not have the time or resources to conduct comprehensive OHS Audits.
