NECA Queensland has developed a sample electronic Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Calendar as a reminder to those responsible for safety within Electrical Contracting firms to periodically review policies and procedures and hold meetings and conduct workforce consult

ation as required under OHS law.

The i calendar can be downloaded from this alert into your Microsoft Outlook as a separate calendar or you can view it as part of your existing calendar by clicking on both in your calendar settings.  All of the supporting documentation needed to undertake these safety tasks are contained in NECA Safe which is our reasonably priced Safety Management System designed specifically for Electrical Contractors.
 
NECA Safe saves you time and money by getting you 80% job ready before you have even looked at the various safe methods of work you will need on each particular project.  That 20% is necessarily done by the business to suit the prevailing conditions on site.
 
Our calendar is a sample only and may need to be likewise adapted to your business depending on the size of your workforce and the type of work you do and the hazards you encounter.  Knowing you need to do things is one thing, remembering to actually do them is another!  We hope this i calendar assists those in your business to keep clear of OHS issues this year.
 
We also have an updated Safe Work Method Statement template to replace the current one in your system.  This is found in the Site Safety section and is SWMS number 38.
