Policy
Title:
Work Health Safety Policy
Number:
7.1
Effective Date:
29 August 2012
Policy Outline
Purpose:
The Department of Finance and Deregulation (Finance) acknowledges its duty of care towards the health and
safety of its workers. As required under section 47 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act), this
policy has been developed by the Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) in consultation with
its workers.
This policy outlines the responsibilities for WHS in Finance. It also documents how Finance’s Occupational
Health & Safety Committee is constituted and operates, including the formation of work groups and the
nomination and election process of Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs). The Policy was developed and
implemented on 29 August 2012 following a process of consultation as required under the WHS Act
This policy underpins the Finance Work Health and Safety Strategic Plan to:

enable effective cooperation between the PCBU and workers in developing and promoting
measures to ensure workers’ mental and physical health, safety and welfare at work;

provide adequate mechanisms for consulting with workers about work health and safety matters;

provide adequate mechanisms for reviewing the effectiveness of the policy;

provide adequate mechanisms for the variation of the policy in consultation with workers;

provide for a dispute resolution mechanism to deal with disputes arising in the course of
consultations held under this Act between the PCBU and workers; and

require the establishment of an Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Committee and provide
for the manner in which the OH&S Committee is to be constituted and operate.
This is consistent with the principles of preventing health and safety incidents from occurring and resolving
these issues as close to the workplace as possible in the most efficient and resource effective manner.
Responsibilities:
Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU)
Under the WHS Act the PCBU may be an individual or organisation conducting a business or undertaking. In
Finance the PCBU is represented by the executive board. The PCBU is proactive in creating a safe work
culture and provides leadership for the overall health and safety of Finance workers.
Joint PCBU responsibilities
The PCBU has a duty to its contractors and its subcontractors employees to ensure their health and safety, so
far as is reasonably practicable, while they are working in connection with Finance’s business.
Section 46 of the WHS Act states that:
If more than one person has a duty in relation to the same matter under this Act, each person with the
duty must, so far as is reasonably practicable, consult, co-operate and co-ordinate activities with all
other persons who have a duty in relation to the same matter.
In order to comply, contracts should include a clause that requires both Finance’s PCBU and the contractor’s
PCBU to consult and satisfy themselves that both organisations have health and safety policies, processes and
practices in-place which are suitable for the work being carried out, and that they comply the WHS Act
throughout the life of that contract.
This can be achieved by the PCBU developing and promulgating OH&S policies and guidelines, in consultation
with joint PCBUs and where appropriate workers which:

state the responsibilities of the PCBUs and workers for workplace health and safety and outline the
action/s required to implement agreed OH&S policies and procedures;

provide for sufficient resources to implement the policies and procedures; and

provide for the co-ordination of health and safety activities, including the determination of priorities,
through the OH&S Committee and Finance’s Work Group (WG).
The PCBU (and where appropriate the joint PCBU) commits to promoting and developing measures to ensure
health and safety at work by:

taking all reasonably practicable steps to provide and maintain safe and healthy workplaces for
all workers;

undertaking a risk management approach in order to identify hazards and implement effective
controls in order to eliminate or minimise risk;

providing workers with information and training on health and safety matters as well as safety
equipment, systems of work and appropriate resources to effectively manage risk;

establishing appropriate processes to identify, record and monitor workers’ health and safety at
work as well as the conditions of workplaces under the PCBU’s control;

committing to providing and maintaining OH&S standards in relation to workplaces, the design of
plant and equipment, fixtures, fittings, substances and structures based on legislative
requirements, including relevant Codes of Practice, and current knowledge;

providing appropriate health, medical and first aid services for workers;

providing advice to the OH&S Committee on relevant matters;

providing adequate facilities for the welfare of workers at work;

developing, implementing and monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing consultation processes
that have been developed for the management of ill or injured workers;

ensuring that persons, who are not workers, at or near a workplace under the PCBU’s control are
not exposed to risk in relation to their health and safety; and

in the procurement arrangements for plant and equipment, ensuring that agreed standards
related to OH&S are specified and that, where possible, the successful service provider
conforms to those standards.
Finance will work co-operatively with workers in implementing the work health and safety framework which
includes this policy and other agreed policies, procedures and practices.
Officers
All senior managers, managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring that the PCBU’s legal obligations
for work health and safety are met in workplaces and within systems of work under their control. They should:

consult with their workers, health and safety representatives and OH&S advisers on measures to
protect the health and safety of workers;

as an integral part of their normal duties, demonstrate leadership by actively following sound
safety practices and developing positive attitudes towards health and safety matters;

arrange for their workers to be instructed in safe working systems and procedures, and supervise
the practice of safe working procedures as an integral part of their normal duties;

ensure that good housekeeping standards are maintained in areas under their control; and
Page | 2

where they consider that preventive or corrective action is necessary but this lies outside their
control, promptly refer the issue to the area that has responsibility for attending to the matter, and
actively follow it up until the matter is satisfactorily resolved.
Workers
This Policy does not diminish a worker’s statutory responsibilities and that they should:

take all reasonably practicable steps to ensure their workplace is maintained in a healthy and
safe manner;

carry out their work in a safe manner without detriment to their health and safety or the health
and safety of their colleagues;

contribute to the review of workplaces and work practices to reduce the incidence of workplace
injury or illness;

participate in health and safety initiatives within their workplace;

participate in health and safety training, use safety equipment and comply with safe systems of
work;

respond to health and safety issues in their sphere of responsibility by reporting all incidents that
had the potential to have caused injury or illness as well as incidents that caused injury or illness
immediately; and

it is the joint responsibility of all Finance workers to consult with, and cooperate in, implementing
the WHS Policy; and

identify hazards, assess the risks, and as appropriate assist with the implementation of control
measures, and participate in reviewing the effectiveness of the chosen control measures within
their specific work environment.
Health and Safety Representatives
Finance will ensure that there is sufficient HSR representation across all tenancies. HSRs will play an active
role in representing their WG (Finance) and support and promote a safety culture by:

consulting with workers, managers and OH&S advisers on measures to protect the health and
safety of workers;

ensuring that good housekeeping standards are maintained in areas they represent and liaise
with managers to progress any necessary remediation for those areas under the managers
control;

initiating preventive or corrective action as necessary, by promptly referring the issue to the area
that has responsibility for attending to the matter, and actively following it up until the matter is
satisfactorily resolved;

actively participate in the annual review of workplaces and work practices to reduce the
incidence of workplace injury or illness;

responding to health and safety issues in their sphere of responsibility by reporting all incidents
that had the potential to have caused injury or illness as well as assisting in the investigation of
incidents that caused injury or illness immediately; and

consulting with all Finance workers to assist in implementing the WHS Policy.
Work health and safety strategic plan
The WHS Strategic Plan outlines how work health and safety will be managed in Finance. A risk management
approach has been adopted to identify and reduce, or eliminate where possible, hazards that have the potential
to cause workplace injuries and disease. The Strategic Plan recognises and addresses the significant
occupational diversity of the department.
Page | 3
Incident notification
The PCBU will establish processes and procedures to ensure that all notifiable and dangerous incidents are
reported immediately, or as soon as is reasonably practicable, to Comcare either by telephone or by completing
an incident report form on Comcare’s internet site.
A notifiable incident is an occurrence that results in the death of a person, or a serious injury or illness, or a
dangerous occurrence that may have caused the death or serious injury or illness to a person.
A dangerous incident is an occurrence that exposes a worker, or any other person, to a serious risk to their
health or safety for example an uncontrolled spillage or leakage of a substance, explosion or fire, fall, electric
shock etc.
If a notifiable or dangerous incident occurs, the PCBU undertakes to preserve the incident site until an
investigator has completed their investigation (safety signs and warning tape can be obtained from an HSR).
This does not prevent providing assistance to injured workers or making the site safe to minimise or eliminate
the risk.
Offences
Under the WHS Act the Crown is no longer immune from prosecution and breaches will have the potential of
being pursued as criminal offences. Individual workers could face prosecution if they are responsible for the
death of a person, cause a serious injury or illness or cause a dangerous incident.
Consultation on the development of the WHS Policy
The PCBU is obligated to ensure that all workers are involved in the development of, and be kept informed
about, the WHS Policy. Methods of consultation include, but are not limited to:

posting the policy and general health and safety information on the intranet and internet for all
workers to access. This will include the posting of OH&S Committee meeting key notes, OH&S
policies and procedures, links to health and safety legislation, and other relevant information;

consultation with Finance workers by the OH&S Committee on the development of the policy and
other health and safety matters;

notification to workers via all staff e-mails, intranet, internet, letters if required, employee notice
boards and regular team meetings;

workers speaking with their HSR regarding any OH&S issues or concerns that they may have;

written materials, reports, presentations, meetings and speeches where appropriate or posted on
the intranet and internet; and

providing information, in a reasonable timeframe, to all workers and their representatives to allow
worker representatives to consult and obtain workers views to enable any suggestions to be
considered.
Reviewing the effectiveness of the WHS Policy
The PCBU acknowledges the importance of keeping the WHS Policy and other OH&S policies under regular
review. Key performance indicators and targets to monitor and improve the Policy are detailed in Finance’s
Work Health and Safety Strategic Plan.
Review mechanisms include, but are not limited to:

annual review of the WHS Policy by the OH&S Committee, to ensure it reflects legislative
requirements and effectiveness;

annual audit of all other aspects of Finance’s OH&S management system;

annual hazard inspections of all Finance workplaces;

review and reporting to the OH&S Committee injury and incident data;
Page | 4

annual review of the Work Health and Safety Strategic Plan against agreed performance
measures;

other mechanisms as agreed by the OH&S Committee in consultation with workers; and
Variation to the WHS Policy
A request for variation to the Policy may be made by the PCBU, OH&S Committee, HSRs and workers. The
request must be in writing and must clearly identify what variation is required and provide evidence to support
the variation. A Request for Policy Variation form is available.
The request will be tabled at the next OH&S Committee meeting and discussed, with outcomes being recorded
in OH&S Committee meeting key notes which will be posted on the intranet, or internet as appropriate, within
seven working days of the meeting. Depending on the nature of the request, the variation may be considered
by the OH&S Committee out of session.
The OH&S Committee may recommend an update or variation to any part of the WHS Policy prior to the set
review date, after consultation with all workers has taken place.
Dispute resolution mechanism
Division 6 of the WHS Act outlines the process for dealing with WHS disputes in the workplace. Guidelines for
Resolving OH&S Issues in the Workplace have been developed to provide practical guidance to workers on the
resolution of any issue or dispute relating to workplace health and safety.
Occupational health and safety training
To ensure that safe working conditions and practices are maintained to the level required by the WHS Act, and
that a strong focus on injury prevention is maintained in Finance OH&S training for workers may include:

induction training for new starters, including contractors;

induction training for graduates;

manager training for EL2 level and above;

general training for all workers;

training in specialised areas as required, e.g. OH&S Committee training, manual handling and
safe work practices; and

any OH&S training deemed to be required by the PCBU after consultation with workers.
First Aid Training
First Aid Officers (FAOs) are required to undertake Senior First Aid training. First aid qualifications are valid for
three (3) years, after which time the FAO must be retrained. As outlined in the First Aid Policy optional annual
refresher training for FAOs may be undertaken and is encouraged to ensure they are qualified in the operation
of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs).
Health and Safety Representative (HSRs) Training
OH&S training from an accredited provider is mandatory for HSRs at the commencement of their first term in
office and is valid for three (3) years. HSRs are unable to exercise their powers until after they have received
their training.
Managing risk
As required by the Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011, Finance has adopted a risk management
approach to underpin its OH&S Management System – refer to the Code of Practice How to manage work
health and safety risks, this document can be found here. This approach requires all workers to identify
hazards, assess and prioritise the risks, implement control measures and review the effectiveness of the
chosen control measures.
Page | 5
While OH&S policies and programs are developed for identifying and controlling hazards present throughout
the organisation, all workers are responsible for managing the particular risks associated with their specific
work environment.
The aim of this approach to managing risk is to ensure that OH&S considerations become a fundamental
consideration during all business planning. Risk management is a vital component of all of Finance’s OH&S
policies and guidelines
Risk management strategies used by Finance include:

incident, hazard and near miss reporting procedures;

incident investigations undertaken by managers and HSRs;

risk assessments including plant and hazardous substances;

annual hazard inspections;

the Hazardous Substance Register for COMCAR and the rest of Finance; and

completing the Safe Method Work Statement forms.
Work Group (WG)
Work Groups are established under Section 51 of the WHS Act. The composition of a WG is determined
through consultation with workers. The Department of Finance and Deregulation is a single work group. This
allows the health and safety representatives to assist workers across all areas of Finance.
Health and Safety Representative (HSR)
An HSR is a worker that is elected by members of a Work Group (WG) to be that WGs health and safety
representative. Under section 68 of the WHS Act, the HSR has broad powers for the purpose of promoting or
ensuring the health and safety at work of employees. These powers include inspections of the workplace,
requesting an investigation be conducted as well as accompanying an investigator during any investigation,
investigating employee complaints regarding the health and safety of employees, and issuing a provisional
improvement notice or a cease work notice.
Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Committee
The OH&S Committee is established under Section 75 the WHS Act and operates according to its terms of
reference. The OH&S Committee generally has members representing the PCBU and workers. The number of
members who are representing the PCBU must not exceed the numbers who represent workers.
The legislation broadly defines the functions of workplace OH&S Committees. These functions are intended to
promote a cooperative work environment between the PCBU and workers to ensure the health and safety of
employees at work. The OH&S Committee Constitution is at Attachment A.
