It is a legal requirement of every business to meet the minimum requirements of the new national Workplace Health & Safety Legislation which became effective in most States and Territories on 1 January 2012. Answering “NO” to any of the following questions means you are non-compliant and need to review your existing position.
1. Do you have a formal WH&S Policy Manual?
2. Have you established a consultation process with your employees?
3. Do you have a risk assessment process for identifying, assessing
and controlling hazards?
4. Have you developed safe work method statements for each job
type?
5. Do you have a clearly defined office procedures processes &
training?
6. Is your First Aid Kit compliant, and up-to-date?
7. Do you have a return to work program in place in the event of an
injury occurring to employees or the public?
Agents need to have updated WH&S Procedures and an Office Policy document that ensures compliance with the new Legislation or risk fines of up to $3 million. Employers are required to identify foreseeable workplace hazards, assess the risk of harm from those hazards, then eliminate or control these risks.
If your WH&S Policy needs revision to comply with the new Legislation, then we have available an updated WHS Policy Manual in MS Word format which contains all necessary requirements and forms, and you can easily customise it for your office. The Policy document is supported by a 24 page Real Estate specific WH&S Procedures document, together with a summary of the State/Territory WHS Act – NSW version 44 pages.
