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 of up to $300,000 for first time offences [reference Sections 4(5), 19 & 20 of the OHS&W Act 1986]. 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. This also includes reviewing and editing existing procedures to make them more effective and better meet the needs of your organisation. We can also educate your safety officers, OHS&W Committee members, Health & Safety Representatives and/or Managers on what it takes to produce effective policies, procedures, safe work methods and work instructions for your business. There are the no frills procedures already written covering a range of topics that are very 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. The business only needs to endorse the procedures and meet up to discuss any changes. Free 12 month limited support is also provided on a fully tailored procedure service. 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. Southern OHS Solutions can take away the hassle of procedure development so businesses can deal with the focuses that matter most to them. "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 a great deal of 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 cost effective and timely service. All procedures developed by Southern OHS Solutions meet legislation requirements. 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 $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.
