There are other institutions beyond this definition.The term is used in many different ways, varying from institution to institution, organisation to organisation and sometimes within institutions and organisations as well. It can be hard to pin down, but there are some central features common to all good policy:it states matters of principleit is focussed on action, stating what is to be done and by whomit is an authoritative statement, made by a person or body with power to do so.Above all, good policy is a tool that makes administration easier, and allows people to get on with the organisation’s core business more efficiently and effectively. 1The Work Health and Safety Act (2011) states that while at work, a worker must cooperate with any reasonable policy or procedure of the person conducting the business or undertaking (PCBU) relating to health or safety at the workplace that has been notified to workers.In addition, under the Work, Health and Safety Regulations (2011) there are specific work health and safety policy obligations for safety management systems of major hazard facilities.Therefore it’s important that a Work Health and Safety policy contains your statement of general policy on health and safety at work and the organisation and arrangements in place for putting that policy into practice. https://padlet.com/eoakey/whsassisi/wish/178346692 2017-07-09 23:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/eoakey/whsassisi/wish/178346692 Workplace Health and Safety (WHS), often referred to as Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) involves the assessment and migration of risks that may impact the health, safety or welfare of those in your workplace. https://padlet.com/eoakey/whsassisi/wish/178346693 2017-07-09 23:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/eoakey/whsassisi/wish/178346693 https://padlet.com/eoakey/whsassisi/wish/178346697 2017-07-09 23:41:14 UTC https://padlet.com/eoakey/whsassisi/wish/178346697
