SOUND FAMILIAR?
When someone asks for your WHS manual, you need it ready
New clients and contracts
A client asks for your safety policies and procedures before they'll sign, and there's nothing ready to send.
Tenders and prequalification
A tender, Avetta or Cm3 submission asks for your WHS manual, and you're not sure what you've got is current.
WorkSafe visits
An inspector asks how you manage risks and consult your workers, and you're hunting through folders.
A growing team
New employees are starting and there are no written rules, inductions or procedures to give them.
An old manual
Not sure your old WHS manual is still compliant? It was written years ago, for a different business.
Insurance renewals
Your insurer wants to know how you manage safety, and the answer is in your head, not on paper.
Every Australian business has a legal duty to look after the health and safety of its workers and anyone affected by its work. Your WHS manual or WHS management system is how you show the steps you're taking to meet that duty.
WHAT YOU NEED
What is a WHS manual, and do you need one?
A WHS manual sets out how your business manages health and safety: your policies, who is responsible for what, and the procedures your team follows for risks, consultation, incidents, emergencies and the hazards in your work. WHS laws don't require a document called a WHS manual, but they do require you to manage risks, consult and train your workers, and keep certain records. A written manual is the clearest way to show you're doing that, and it's what clients, tenders and prequalification platforms ask to see.
When you'll be asked for it
Applying for a tender or government contract
Prequalification on Avetta, Cm3 or a similar platform
A client asking for your safety policies before work starts
Your insurer reviewing how you manage risk
A visit from your state's WHS regulator, or after an incident
Who these manuals are for
Sole traders and small crews putting their first system in place
Growing businesses taking on employees
Businesses tendering for council, government and commercial work
Owners replacing an old or generic manual
Risk Management
Consultation
Inspections & Audits
Worker Inductions
Incident Reporting
Emergency Procedures
