Health and Safety Policy

Under new health and safety legislation, organizations have duties to engage with workers and enable them to participate in improving health and safety. They must:
ensure that worker's views on health and safety matters are asked for and taken into account, and
have clear, effective, and on-going ways for workers to suggest improvements or raise concerns on a day-to-day basis.
With the new legislation coming into effect at the end of the month, we need to build and agree on a policy.
This policy impacts everyone in Oatmilk Co-op, and is a legal obligation for the organization. So I am starting a Consent process to invite your participation in developing the policy and consent to adopt the policy.
I have made a start on a draft health and safety policy

I still have an objection to the fire safety provisions. I don’t think they are good enough, and may not even meet our legal responsibility.

@Takashi Kim yes I believe so. As part of the work, we will submit a budget for items to purchase to comply with our policy,

@Jaiyush Devi yes, sure does. It will come under the 'wellbeing' section.
