Scope of support
The Occupational Safety and Health Act requires companies with 500 or more full-time employees, and construction firms ranked within the top 1,000 by assessed capacity, to have their chief executive prepare an annual safety and health plan, report it to the board, and obtain the board's approval. The plan covers the safety and health management policy, the organisation's structure, staffing and roles, the related budget and facilities, and last year's activity record alongside the coming year's plan. SH, SA, and ESG assessments are run by assessment bodies, and results can feed into public bidding scores or supplier evaluations. We confirm which items are required and set the order of preparation.
- SH assessment
- SA assessment
- ESG assessment
- Occupational safety and health plan preparation
What to confirm first
Applicable requirements and supporting evidence vary with who is applying, the type of filing, and the current public notice. We therefore confirm the facts during the consultation, assess whether you meet the requirements as they stand today, and only then settle the document list. If you fall short, we tell you what to put in place first.
Review and process
The consultation confirms your objective and the facts. We then review the applicable requirements, the evidence to submit, and the sequence, and set them out for you. Where the requirements cannot be met right away, we present the available alternatives and the time each needs. Once you agree to proceed, we prepare and file on your behalf and keep you posted on progress.
- 01 Request: Provide contact details and the basic facts that need review.
- 02 Scope review: Confirm the objective, current status, materials, and prerequisites.
- 03 Engagement: Agree the work scope and responsibilities before engagement.
- 04 Progress: Receive updates for filing, follow-up requests, and results.
