| OHS&W Policy and Procedures
|
 | Section 19(1)(c) requires employers to provide such information (and instruction, training and supervision) that are reasonably necessary to ensure employees are safe from risks to injury and health. In otherwords, information such as policies and instructions such as procedures must be supplied. |
| Section 20 requires employers to prepare and maintain statements (ie: policies and procedures) that set out the arrangements, practices and procedures at the workplace to protect the health and safety of employees This means policies and procedures must be documented and reasonable steps are made to make employees aware of them. |
| Section 22(2) sets out requirements that employers must ensure that the workplace is safe from risks to health and safety for any person who enters the workplace, ie: someone who is not an employee. |
While the Act and Regulations could be investigated further, the above examples clearly reference the need to provide OHS&W policies and procedures in the workplace and it also enables courts the power to impose fines up to $100,000 for first time non compliance!

The following list is NOT exhaustive but highlights a range of documentation we are able to provide for your business. If you are after a particular document not listed, please let us know. Either it will be under a different name or we can develop one for you (standard individual price).
Note: Some documents with similar names are comparable and only one or the other (or a combination of the two) should be required. Please feel free to clarify your requirements with us before your purchase.
We also provide some HR based documentation, see below for further information.
There are generally three types of documentation services provided:
| Standard generic documents - suit smaller businesses, those who need documentation in place quickly, discharge legislative obligations above, provide some customisation (eg: name of business) and supplied in .pdf format by email and/or CDRom. Quick and easy documentation. |
| Existing documentation customised - suits medium organisations who require a little more than generic documentation. This includes tailoring the document a little more to the organisation and some minor wording changes where necessary. These documents are supplied on CDrom or by email in .pdf format. |
| Documents developed from scratch or tailored fully to organisation needs - which is pretty self explanatory and incorporates new or existing documentaion, supplied in a range of formats as desired (eg: Word, .pdf, hard copy etc) on CDRom and/or email. |
Feel free to discuss your requirements.
A service fee of $50# applies to cover administrative, consultation and other costs and GST must be added to all fees hereunder:
| Standard generic documents range from $15 to $25 each (most are $15 each) + service fee above |
| Any package of 10 standard generic documents, regardless of individual prices is $195 (includes service fee) |
| Existing standard generic documents customised for individual organisations start from $25 each + service fee (discounts may apply for purchase of multiple documents) |
| Documents developed from scratch specifically tailored to an organisation are $50 per hour (a two page document is a good hour's work as a general guide) |
| Reviews of an organisation's existing documentation conducted off site $50 per hour |
In addition to the above services, policies and procedures can be printed out and provided in folders for your organisation. Printing and stationery costs are applicable.
# the service fee is not applicable to a one off policy purchase. The service fee is only applied to each invoice, not each procedure purchased. (eg: a purchase of five documents incorporates only one service fee, not five)
For Standard Generic Documentation
1 - Send an email to southernohs@optusnet.com.au.
2 - List the documents you require (you may use the document numbers
above instead of writing out the document full name).
3 - List the business to be invoiced, address and contact person/phone
number.
4 - Include any instructions in the email (eg: if you are not sure about
a particular document overlapping another or if you need assistance
choosing the right ones).
For customisation of existing documentation, follow the steps above but indicate what customisation you require and for all other documentation needs please contact us to discuss further.
On receipt of email, an invoice and small questionnaire will be generated according to your purchase requirements (which is easily adjusted if you change your mind) and on receipt of payment the documents requested will be sent. Terms and conditions apply, and will be provided at time of purchase.
Documentation is sent by email, by default. However, a CDRom will be produced and posted (incorporated into the price) where a number of documents are purchased.
All documents can be purchased individually and will be supplied as .pdf which you have access to electronically, can print and add directly to your procedure manual and have access to the free 12 month support below.
Southern OHS Solutions offers a package containing 10 standard generic documents for only $195+GST. All are provided in electronic .pdf format on CDRom which can be printed in hard copy as well as retained electronically. If you purchase one document (eg: to try out) and within 2 weeks purchase 9 more, the cheaper package price will apply.
For an additional $10 documents can be provided in hard copy with folder (and $5 for every folder thereafter).
The package incorporates multiples of 10 standard generic documents only, otherwise individual documentation fees apply.
GST must be added to all fees stated above.
Limited changes are available free of charge for up to 12 months after provision of the document which generally incorporates organisation name change, minor wording, insertion of a small clause, position title and so forth. This aspect of our service is clarified on purchase of documentation or by request. All other changes are considered a review of the documentation and will attract an administrative charge.
The following list is NOT exhaustive but highlights a range of documentation we are able to provide for your business. If you are after a particular document not listed, please let us know. Either it will be under a different name or we can develop one for you (standard individual price).
Purchasing: The same pricing and terms/conditions apply as detailed under the OHS&W Policy/Procedure list above.
