FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OHS&W POLICIES & PROCEDURESServices offered for businesses to ensure they meet this legislative requirement26/07/09 | Whyalla -- Southern OHS Solutions develops policies and procedures for all types of organisations, whether it be small, medium or large. Every employer must have in place appropriate statements documenting the systems and processes that oversee the health and safety of its workforce, and members of the public. If not, the courts have the power to impose penalties up to $100,000 for first time offences. Put more simply, employers must have in place safety policies and procedures! Southern OHS Solutions is highly experienced in developing procedures for businesses and offers a range of services to suit a variety of needs. There are the no frills procedures already written covering a range of topics that are cost effective and can easily be adapted to most businesses. Then there are existing procedures which can be reworked to be more tailored to any business. Finally, Southern OHS Solutions can develop procedures from scratch and completely tailor documentation for any business, to suit their needs. If businesses do want to develop or review their own documentation, Southern OHS Solutions provides coaching services to maximise the benefits of any in-house expertise (eg: safety officers, OHS Committees, etc). Mark Braithwaite, the proprietor of Southern OHS Solutions believes that this service can save businesses many man hours and a lot of internal costs often associated with this task. "Under the OHS&W Act, every employer must have in place policies and procedures and this is a great way for businesses to ensure they meet their obligations, without spending time and resources trying to put them in place," Mark said. The art of writing policies and procedures for all organisations is often difficult, especially when staff do not have the expertise and this is a great way to access a cost effective and timely service. Individual policies and procedures already written, which can be easily adapted to your business, start from as little as $15* each and packages of ten procedures are available at discounted prices. All procedures developed by Southern OHS Solutions meet legislation requirements and are also provided with free 12 month support for business name and other minor changes. Every organisation must start with its own health and safety policy and Southern OHS Solutions has a one or two page policy which meets all of the requirements of OHS&W laws in South Australia and can be purchased for just $25-30*. In fact, this policy can be used Australia wide! In addition to developing OHS&W documentation, Southern OHS Solutions will also review and audit any existing policies and procedures used by the organsiation, which can lead to a range of improvements in safety behaviour in the work place, increasing the bottom line.
