Occupational Health and Safety Management is critical for groups when undertaking events and projects, particularly involving volunteers and community members.
The North East CMA updated the Occupational Health and Safety Management Plan and associated forms in 2018. These are now available for groups to take and use.
The Drive folder below has the full Management Plan, and all the separate forms for groups. The Management Plan includes all the forms and templates, and is suitable for downloading as is.
Each form is also ready to be downloaded, or used as required as Doc templates.
Select the OHS Management Plan for Landcare and Community Groups, which should open the document viewer.
Click on File... Download As... and select the document format preference for your document editing software (Word, ODT)
Open the downloaded document.
Use the Find and Replace option, to find <Group Name> and replace with your community group name. Replace All.
Check that all have been replaced with your group name. Change the logo if you wish.
This should now be ready to submit to your group to adopt the plan at a meeting.
You will need to Make A Copy of each document you wish to use for your group.
When logged in and viewing this page, move your cursor over the list of files, then click on the Open Folder icon showing top right.
This will open the folder in Drive.
Open each document you wish to copy. When viewing the file, Click on File... Make a Copy... then select where to save the file in My Drive.
Note: Please do not select the 'Add to My Drive' option in the File... menu as this will display the original document in your drive, not a copy.
You may find it best to create a new folder in your Drive to add all the documents to.
Once copied to your Drive, use the Find and Replace option, to find <Group Name> and replace with your community group name. Replace All.
Check that all have been replaced with your group name, change the logo if you wish.
This should now be ready to submit to your group to adopt the plan at a meeting.
Share the folder or documents with Group representatives to give them full access.
