WHS Policy

Policy · POLICY-70002

  • Version 3
  • Miscellaneous
  • Reads on any phone

This Work Health and Safety (WHS) Policy is the cornerstone of any organisation dedicated to workplace safety and legal compliance. It goes beyond basic compliance, incorporating the proactive safety principles of ISO 45001 to help you protect your people and your reputation.

It sets out your policy statement and commitments, what management and workers are responsible for, and your nominated management representative, ready for your Director or Business Owner to sign.

A review procedure keeps the policy up to date and effective, and document control, with distribution and amendment record registers, tracks who holds a copy and what has changed. It lists the WHS legislation and codes of practice for each state and territory and New Zealand, for you to narrow to where you work.

Introduction

Employers have a responsibility to ensure a safe working environment, but as workers, we also have a responsibility to prioritise our own health and safety. This important field focuses on preventing workplace accidents and reducing health risks, which is especially crucial given how much time most of us spend on the job.
