This scheme provides resources to help employers identify workplace hazards and create a formal plan to prevent accidents.

What you get
You receive access to a safety statement template. This document is designed to help you identify potential dangers and create a plan to prevent accidents from happening in your business.
What it costs you
There is no direct fee to use these resources, but it requires your time. You must spend time documenting specific risks within your workspace, such as the dangers of using hot ovens or the physical strain of heavy lifting.
The catch to know
Using a generic template is not enough to meet your obligations. Your safety statement must be customized to reflect the specific environment and unique hazards of your specific business.
