Practical guidance
Six areas to help strengthen accreditation readiness.
Six Resource Areas
Work through the areas most relevant to your business.
Each area brings together related OFSC accreditation requirements to help you strengthen systems, implementation and evidence without duplicating work across multiple resources.
01
Strengthen leadership oversight, accountability, responsibilities and governance arrangements so WHS is clearly managed, reviewed and supported across the business.
02
Strengthen hazard identification and risk management processes, including how design and buildability risks are identified, controlled and carried through into project planning and delivery.
03
Review emergency preparedness, worker health and exposure monitoring, incident reporting, investigation and corrective action so risks and events are managed effectively and lessons lead to improvement.
04
Strengthen worker consultation and the selection, communication, coordination and oversight of subcontractors so WHS responsibilities and expectations are understood across the project.
05
Strengthen WHS performance monitoring, inspections, training, induction and competency arrangements so the business can demonstrate that workers are capable and WHS systems are being implemented effectively.
06
Review how key residential construction hazards - including working at heights, structural alterations and temporary supports, excavation, electrical work and mobile plant are identified, controlled and supported by evidence.
Using the Resources
Start with the areas that need the most attention.
01 How should I use the resource pack?
You do not need to work through every resource at once. Start by considering where your current WHS systems are strongest and where gaps may exist. Use the relevant guidance and tools to review your current approach, strengthen implementation and collect evidence of how your systems operate in practice.
Not sure where to start?
Start with the WHS Readiness Diagnostic.
Use the diagnostic to identify strengths, potential gaps and which of the six resource areas may need the most attention.
