INTRODUCTION

Scope of Evaluation

The scope of the Client WHS Evaluation is limited to the examination of information sourced, and observations made at the time of the evaluation. The principal objectives of this report are to:
• Evaluate the host employers' work health and safety documentation to determine an appropriate level of understanding of WHS issues and legislation required to manage WHS risks associated with the operational activities of the business.
• Determine if the host employer provides and implements practical systems and processes for managing WHS risks
• Identify good practices and opportunities for improvement based on operations specific to the business.
Having considered the matters discussed during our visit this WHS report has been finalised to provide an overview of Onpoint 365's observations.
