Businesses must keep records of processes to meet their compliance obligations. This needs to be managed consistently and systematically with clear and concise records to make recording effective and time efficient and avoid rewriting 'War and Peace'. The Management Systems are presented as paper-based Manuals and in electronic format.
In preparing Management Systems, we spend time understanding the operation of your business and then determine the areas of compliance that apply to your operation. We then develop procedures that explain how you meet your compliance obligations as well as the documents you require to record compliance.
The basic format of our Management Systems is:
Policies
Procedures
Forms and Registers
Safe Work Instructions
Reference material
Handbooks to communicate to staff and contractors information on meeting their responsibilities
The advantage of having health and safety documentation is that health and safety can then be applied effectively and consistently across a business. It also ensures that health and safety knowledge stay in the business rather than with individual staff members who may leave.
Management Systems can be developed for just health and safety or can be integrated with environmental and or quality to form an Integrated Management System.
