Formal Issue Resolution Procedure

The Formal Issue Resolution Procedure sets out how a worker raises a WHS hazard or concern: first with their supervisor or manager, who investigates it, acts on it, tells the worker the outcome and records it on a Hazard Report Form.

It says what happens when there is a severe immediate risk to workers, and its flow chart takes an issue that is not resolved through the health and safety representative (HSR), a provisional improvement notice (PIN) and the regulator's inspector.

It is part of the Health and Safety Manual, whose documents refer to each other.

Written by SafetyDocs safety experts, who have been writing safety documents since 2004.
