Work Health and Safety Manual
Designed to assist ACT, NSW, QLD, NT, SA & TAS businesses, this WHS Manual provides a framework for your organisation to create its own WHS system. It is the foundation tool for any WHS development. In the event of any question, or inspection that requires you to produce your organisation’s WHS Policies & Procedures, there is a very clear and concise written record of what they are and how those principles have been communicated to your staff.
All documents within the WHS Manual are provided in Microsoft Word (MS Word) for easy customisation/editing. Providing the document in MS Word means that you can make regular and necessary updates to your management system whenever you like. Note: You will need to have MS Word to open your documents.
