OHS Supplier Questionnaire

A questionnaire for businesses that supply goods, services or both, returned with their bid or proposal so their OHS capabilities can be evaluated as part of supplier selection.

It records the supplier's company information, its OHS management system and any certification, its OHS performance data for the past three years, its documented OHS policies and procedures, how it ensures the safety of the goods it supplies, how it selects and monitors subcontractors, and further examples relevant to what it proposes to supply. The supplier's representative signs a declaration that the information is true and accurate.

It is part of the Health and Safety Manual, which asks suppliers to complete it for higher-risk procurement such as hazardous chemicals, equipment or specialised services.
