"Welcome to chapter one of your GELSafe program. This is the start of a 14-chapter program that gradually establishes your centre’s Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) Management System.
This chapter's focus is on familiarising yourself with the process, establishing your own WHS Policy, setting your objectives, and clarifying WHS responsibilities within your centre.
Each fortnight, you'll receive an email outlining the actions that need to be taken and how to do them. Often, this will include downloading and reviewing the Policy and Procedure documentation we provide, adapting it to suit your individual centre requirements, and implementing the procedures found in the material.
Even if your centre already has its own WHS-related documents for the topics covered, you can refine them after reviewing the Policy and Procedure documentation available through this program. Then, you can incorporate your updated documents into your centre’s own WHS management system."
