    Hi Rebecca
    I completed 9001, 14001 & 45001 Lead Auditor last year through IQM, Nicky Stevenson was tutor and she was excellent. Discussion & examples were more focussed toward quality than safety/enviro.

  • Is Totika Prequalification being adopted?
    thanks for your comment Tony, wasn't that the goal of Totika, ie to be the industry standard? But this approach relies on all of industry to voluntarily get on board with it....
  • Drug & Alcohol policy for contractors v employees

    Thanks for that, I thought as much too
  • Hire Equipment "Legislation"?
    thanks for your input guys :)
  • Hire Equipment "Legislation"?
    thanks Matt

    OK so what about if, in that multi-tenanted building you have some tenants who are large companies (ie have their own H&S processes) and small Mum & Dad companies (who don't)....
    Would you expect the Mum & Dad businesses to be guided by the landlords H&S system? (I'm thinking in the same way as a contractor can be asked to work under the principals OHSM if they don't have one)

    Also, most historical lease agreements are silent on H&S, or only have a minimal line to acknowledge the leasee must comply with statues etc. Is this still relevant, or do more modern lease agreements include more rigour around H&S obligations?
  • Hire Equipment "Legislation"?
    Hi guys
    I read this with interest....

    Does anyone have a view on building leases? Does it come under the same category as equipment?

    As a building leasor (the person that owns the building) I imagine their responsibility is to ensure the building is fit for use, ie with cert of fitness etc, but that activities undertaken by the leasee are their responsibility?

    Do you think the leasor needs to conduct an assessment of the applicant leasee to ensure their H&S systems, similar to a contractor prequal?

    Thanks

  • Heavy machinery competency assessment

    Thanks for your reply Rachael - and the time you put into it, much appreciated and helps heaps :)
  • Heavy machinery competency assessment
    Thanks for that Alex. I haven't yet found many organisations that routinely assess competency, most appear to rely on the license endorsement - but as you rightly raise, this does not guarantee the skills to do a specific task.
