Safety Manager

A comprehensive toolkit for developing your OHS management system

Safety Manager will help business owners / managers to understand the requirements of both the OHSAS 18001:1999 and AS/NZS 4801:2001 standards for OHS (Occupational Health & Safety) management systems.

Safety Manager will help you plan, document, implement and verify your own system based on the requirements of your chosen standard. Your system should provide a solid foundation for addressing legislative and other requirements such as industry-specific regulations. It may also be used as the basis of an integrated management system - covering other compliance issues such as Quality and Environmental management.

Improve your understanding

The Electronic Book explains basic concepts, the development of an OHS management system, tools and techniques, and traps to avoid. It includes a chapter on the requirements of each clause in OHSAS 18001:1999 and AS/NZS 4801:2001 - each chapter has a summary, a discussion, references to other compliance standards, a case study, an activity plan, and links to sample documents and other tools. A series of Training Presentations help you to learn about various aspects of health and safety management.

Plan your system

Various tools provide you with a framework to assess your current situation, and plan your system methodically. These include a detailed Gap Analysis chart, and a Project Plan.

Case studies illustrate the application of OHS management systems in a wide range of industries and business types.

Document your system

The standards have some compulsory requirements for documentation, and other documents are optional. Safety Manager includes a comprehensive pack of sample documents for you to choose from. These are professionally designed and ready for easy customizing using your familiar word processor! Sample Policies include an overall OHS policy statement, various secondary policies, and a compiled OHS policy manual. Procedures help to provide guidance and communicate business rules, and Safety Manager includes 40 samples. The format of these sample procedures is ideally suited for both hard copy printing and electronic distribution. Sample Procedures include:

Staff training / competency
Safety Induction
Hazard identification
Risk assessment
Emergency response
Incident investigation
...Plus many others

These documents not only look good, but make navigating and data entry easy. The Help file shares some of our secrets - providing useful tips on getting more from your word processor. A trial version of the Smart Draw graphics application is included. This product can be used to generate flow charts and other graphics, and some completed examples are also provided in both Smart Draw and Visio formats.

Put it into practice

Your system needs to be implemented and checked or verified that it is working effectively. Forms and checklists help to prompt action and are essential to record what took place. Over 40 sample forms include:

Accident / Incident report
Induction checklist
Risk assessment
PPE assessment
Training record
Master document list
...Plus many others

Numerous other Tools are provided to help with your practical implementation. These include: Excel workbooks, PowerPoint presentations to use in training staff, and a full version of Qudos Risk Assessor - this is a database for listing hazards, assessing the risk they pose, planning controls to treat those risks, and recording what controls are in place. Multiple categories may be established, and user-defined sets of values created for likelihood, consequence and risk level (default values are provided). The software automatically inserts a risk level from a matrix. A Master assessment may be set for each category. This may be used as a template for other assessments, which saves data entry time and helps ensure consistency.

For less than the cost of an average consultant for just one day, Safety Manager will help you get your system up and running quickly, and then offers a long-term reference source.
