·      requirements of the WHS Management System are met;

·      compliance with legal requirements for incident notification and government reporting; and

·      a safe workplace for all employees, contractors and visitors through effective and systematic safety event investigation and reporting mechanisms, to ensure that further risks of workplace incidents and near misses are eliminated.

This procedure provides direction for managers and employees to develop and implement appropriate strategies to isolate forms of potentially hazardous energy relating to plant, machinery and equipment and minimise the risk of an accidental release of hazardous energy occurring which could result in injury or illness.

This document outlines the procedure for the recruitment of the most competent and suitable people for our organisation.

This document provides direction for minimising the health and safety risks associated with traffic movements.

This procedure covers the movement of vehicles, including customer and contractor vehicles, in and around the workshop, forecourt, yard and carpark. This procedure is intended to minimise the risk of motor vehicle accidents.

This procedure provides direction for the implementation of effective communication of Work Health and Safety (WHS) information.

This procedure provides a risk based Change Management process to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of people and Work Health and Safety (WHS) performance and outcomes are not compromised by organisational change and that changes are introduced in a planned, systemic and consultative manager. 

The purpose of this procedure is to provide a framework for the efficient and effective management of fixed and mobile assets through their entire lifecycle.

This Procedure provides direction for managers and employees in how to conduct regular workplace inspections at the workplace. 

This procedure describes the auditing processes used to verify the implementation and evaluate the effectiveness of the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Management System.

This procedure maintains a fitness for work regime that would ensure that where there is a genuine concern for the safety and wellbeing of an employee, that the extent of the fitness related concern can be adequately understood in order to consider the best possible means to address the risks.

This guide has been developed to help with understanding fitness for work risk management philosophy and principles and should be read in conjunction with the Fitness for Work Policy (WHS-POL-11), Procedure (WHS-PRO-11.1) and other referenced documentation.

Fatigue is a fitness for work concern that can affect the health and safety of employees and the risks should be managed to a level as low as reasonably practicable. Fatigue can be caused by both work and non-work related factors. The objective of this procedure is to support a Duty of Care to manage fatigue induced fitness for work concerns which may place employees or other persons at unacceptable risk of injury or illness. 

This procedure provides an effective internal control framework for selecting and purchasing goods and services from approved and reliable goods suppliers and service providers (suppliers) that present the lowest possible level of WHS risk to its employees and other persons involved in the business.

PPE is any piece of equipment used by employees, contractors or visitors to provide protection from hazards in the workplace.

PPE is provided to control hazards identified in the workplace where it is not practicable to eliminate or control the hazard through other measures, or if additional protection is required to support existing hazard control measures.

This procedure provides direction for employees in the appropriate selection, use, storage, maintenance and replacement of PPE, as well as the training required. 

This document outlines the procedure for effectively identifying hazards and implementing preventative measures to decrease the risk associated with that hazard.  

This document outlines the procedure for effectively assessing risks, implementing appropriate control measures and monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of the controls.

This diagram represents a typical change management process supporting Change Management Policy and Procedure.

The purpose of this procedure is to provide an effective internal control framework for supporting preferred service providers (suppliers) in meeting, as far as reasonably practicable, their work health and safety obligations and protecting all persons from the hazards and risks associated with their work activities.

This document outlines the procedure for effectively identifying and assessing the risks associated with chemical use in the workplace, implementing appropriate control measures, monitoring, and reviewing the effectiveness of implemented controls. 

The purpose of this procedure is to outline the process and responsibilities to manage hot work-related hazards and the methods by which safe hot work controls are implemented to minimise the risk of injury from fire or explosion when these activities are not part of normal routine and conducted outside of designated hot work areas.

This procedure provides company processes to be followed in the management of ACM I the workplace, however, this procedure does not intend to duplicate or replace the Code of Practice How to manage asbestos in the workplace. The code of Practice must be adhered to and referred to for additional detail.

This Procedure is to guide employees with a safe practice of PPE. PPE is provided to control hazards identified in the workplace where it is not practicable to eliminate or control the hazard through other measures, or if additional protection is required to support existing hazard control measures.

This procedure enables the process and requirement for providing training and information to ensure all employees and contractors have the necessary material, technical skills and competency to safely perform the job efficiently and to fulfil the requirements of their role.

This procedure describes the process for conducting management review of the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Management System 

The intent of this manual is to document the processes and procedures required to ensure the safety of people and the protection of assets when undertaking safety critical tasks and activities.

Effective WHS (Work Health and Safety) conversations are crucial in the motor trades industry to ensure a safe working environment. Here are some essential steps and tips for conducting these conversations.

A safety observation is a vital and systematic process of identifying and documenting potential hazards, unsafe behaviours, or unsafe conditions in a workplace before they result in accidents or injuries.

This paper concerns refrigerant gases classified as Division 2.1 flammable gases under the Australian Dangerous Goods Code or classified as Flammable Gas Category 1 using the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). It covers general work health and safety (WHS) duties.
