This guide outlines the key components of an effective OHS program, what is required to be compliant with health and safety regulations, and sample templates and resources to help you build your own program.

When there is an incident at your workplace, whether someone was hurt or not, an investigation procedure will help you to follow necessary steps to identify what happened, how to prepare a report on an incident, and how to identify corrective actions.

An inspection is a proactive tool used to protect workers and to determine if there are any unsafe work procedures or working conditions.

Site-specific emergency response planning is vital to ensure every person in the workplace understands what they must do in case of an emergency.

A hazard assessment is the process that supervisors and workers use to identify and control workplace hazards. 

Workers that are new to your workplace or returning after a long absence, who have changed where they work, or changed the tasks they complete must all receive a safety orientation. 

All workplaces will require specific OHS training to meet their legislative requirements.

When you complete the policy, print and sign it, then post it in the workplace where workers can access it.

The OHS Regulations require that employers have a procedure to review and revise their OHS Programs at least once every three years.
