Frequently Asked Questions
What is the role of a Health and Safety Agent?
A Health and Safety Agent acts as the client's representative on construction projects, ensuring contractors comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Construction Regulations. They review safety documentation, monitor compliance, provide professional guidance, and help clients fulfill their legal obligations regarding construction safety.
How often should safety audits be conducted?
The frequency of safety audits depends on the nature and risks of your operations. High-risk environments typically require monthly audits, while lower-risk operations might be adequately served with quarterly assessments. Construction projects often require regular monthly monitoring, while operational facilities may follow a schedule aligned with OHS Act requirements.
What documentation is included in a Health and Safety Management Plan?
A comprehensive Health and Safety Management Plan typically includes company health and safety policy, organizational structure and responsibilities, risk assessments, safe work procedures, emergency response plans, incident reporting procedures, training requirements, inspection schedules, legal compliance register, and performance monitoring protocols.
How do your services help with DOL construction work permits?
Our Department of Labour construction permit application services include preparing all required documentation, conducting necessary risk assessments, developing construction health and safety specifications, preparing relevant method statements, liaising with DOL officials, addressing technical queries, and following up on application status until approval is obtained.
