Do I need a documented safety management system?
Legislatively defined major hazard facilities are required to have safety management systems that comply with AS4801 or similar certification system as determined from time to time. Generally speaking, in order to demonstrate compliance to the provisions of Sections 19 and 27 of the Work Health and Safety Act, a documented safety management system is used.

Does a management system need to be expensive, large and complicated?
Not at all. A management system should describe how the company identifies, assesses and controls risk. The complexity of the system is usually reflected in the severity of risk and the size of the organisation. We offer 'Off the Shelf' systems for small businesses that are simple and straight forward. We can also develop management systems for large organisations who have more complicated requirements.
