This ready-to-use WHS Handbook has been designed to help you meet your obligations under Australian work health and safety laws, while promoting a safe and supportive work environment for your team. It covers everything from risk management and emergency procedures to psychosocial hazards, safe work practices and working arrangements.

Each section is structured for clarity and practicality, making it easy to adopt and apply across your business.

Each policy also includes a ‘Related Documents’ section listing other policies, procedures or checklists that support or relate to the content. Where these documents are referenced, they are provided as a guide only and are not included as part of this handbook.

Sections highlighted in blue are designed for easy customisation, allowing you to personalise the handbook with your organisation's specific details.
