There are many options available for small business to get support for their workplace health and safety. The regulator is more interested these days in helping business comply with their OHS obligations than prosecuting. There are a number of consulting firms available to take the pressure off your business.
You can access heaps of free safety information from the regulator in all States and Territories. Why pay for downloading OHS forms and safety plans off the Internet when you can access the same material stuff free from Workcover, Worksafe, Workplace Health and Safety, NT Worksafe. They all offer heaps of safety information free.
If you need a safe work method statement, OHS plan, or safety manual you don’t need to spend a fortune, you can access a lot of material straight from your State regulators website.
Worksafe NSW has a great construction safety plan called the “Subby Pack”. This will pretty quickly get you started.
