Custodian Safety Services Certified OHS Professional

As a person in control of a buisness or undertaking you have a duty to identify first aid and emergency equipment requiremnts for your workplace.

Employers must be prepared for emergency situations that may arise. Carrying out first aid and emergency equipment risk assessments and putting together an emergency management plan will ensure your workplace is well prepared.

An emergency plan is a written set of instructions based on the findings of the risk assessments that outlines what your employees should do in the event of an emergency such as a fire, explosion or dangerous chemical release.

Custodian Safety Services ensure that all risk assessments and emergency plans are easy to understand, tailored to your workplace and appropriate to the number and type of occupants.

We can also assist you to run periodic emergency drills in potential emergency scenarios in both OHS and environmental aspects in your workplace.

Custodian Safety Services hold Exemplar Global accreditation in integrated management systems  lead auditing.

The 3 management systems that make an integrated management system (IMS) are Quality – ISO 9001, Environmental – ISO 14001 and Occupational Health & Safety – ISO 45001.

We have the capability to develop and provide guidance on a certifiable integrated management system for companies and organisations working in any industry.

We can also perform system compliance audits on projects where auditing is required as part of the contract and the auditor conducting the audits must be a Exemplar Global or similarly accredited IMS Lead Auditor.

Where a company does not require a full integrated management system (Quality, Environmental & OHS) we can provide a proposal to develop and provide guidance on just 1 or 2 management systems as required.

We can also undertake and provide gap analysis reports (2nd party audits) on individual or integrated management systems. Our gap analysis reports include a weak areas section that outlines any gaps in the comapnies management systems and also includes some system imporvement reccomendations.

We have extensive experience in workshop/warehouse/storage/office/retail/kitchen waste & recycling facility risk assessments, OHS audits and OHS inspections

An OHS Consultant can audit workplace OHS documentation and inspect workplace environments in accordance with the requirements of the State Acts, Regulations, Codes or practice and Australian/New Zealand standards. We can provide an on the day written report of our findings with recommendations for improvement.

An OHS Consultant can then return to the place of initial/previous audit on an agreed/periodic date, follow up and close out any corrective actions that were identified in the previous documentation audit or site inspection.

This ensures your sites physical environment and OHS documentation meet the current demands of legislation, employment agreements specific your industry that will in turn lead to regulatory compliance greatly reduce the likelihood of accidents/incidents resulting in employee injury & lost time on your project.

All OHS Plans have been developed by an OHS Consultant in compliance with State guidelines and Federal Safety Legislation for site specific management plans.

Our OHS plans are ready to use and are not blank templates. The site plan is easily edited in Microsoft Word and can be utilised on multiple projects with a few simple modifications.

A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a legal document that outlines the hazards that may arise from high risk construction activities and safety measures put in place to control the risks

Under the Occupational and Work Health and Safety Regulations in all states and territories a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) must be prepared before high risk construction work begins and if anyone’s health and safety is at risk because of the work. However, SWMS can be used for any other work activities.

Our SWMS are developed by an OHS Consultant and generated to fully comply with all of the statutory requirements of the OHS acts and regulations throughout Australia and the Australian/New Zealand Standards relevant to the work tasks.

Our Safe Work Method Statements are not blank templates, they contain the most common hazards and controls measures to manage risk.

We can’t see what’s happening on your site though, it’s vitally important you include site-specific hazards, assess the risk, and make our SWMS specific to your task at hand.

The content of a SWMS should be regularly reviewed and needs to include consultation with workers and other persons.

If you are changing sites or conducting a new activity, the SWMS content should be checked and amended to suit.

All of our SWMS:

• List the type of high risk construction work being done
• Include a risk matrix & hierarchy of controls
• Identify personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements
• Identify job steps and state the hazards and risks arising from the job steps
• Describes how the risks will be controlled (Control measures)

All of our SWMS include provisions for:

• The name of the principal contractor
• The name, address and ABN of your company
• The name of the person responsible for monitoring and ensuring compliance with the SWMS
• The date the SWMS was prepared and the signature of each worker

If you require a specific Safe Work Method Statement for your business that’s not listed in our online shop or requires a high level of technical specification, we can assist you by building a tailor made SWMS to suit your needs. Just get in touch by calling or e-mailing us on any of the contact details listed on our contact us page or by using the online contact form.
