When is a Health and Safety Compliance Certificate Issued?

A Health and Safety Compliance Certificate is issued after the satisfactory completion of a workplace audit. The auditors investigate existing or possible risks and hazards that could jeopardize the health and safety of any workers or visitors to the premises. Safety control measures are also assessed for efficiency. A Health and Safety Compliance certificate will only be issued once the premises have been declared safe from risk, potential future risk and hazards.

For How Long is a Health and Safety Compliance Certificate Valid?

A Health and Safety Compliance Certificate is valid for one year only. Businesses must, therefore, schedule a Compliance Grading Audit every year.

 Covid-19 Challenges

The advent of the Covid-19 pandemic has crystallised the challenges of occupational hazards in the working environment. It is now more important than ever before that businesses achieve occupational health and safety compliance. SafetyWallet, in association with MAKROSAFE’s audit team, provides solutions to any SHE shortcomings with training and consultation. By formulating safe work procedures, assessing the presence of occupational hazards and monitoring environmental pollution, SafetyWallet guides clients to OHS Act compliance.

It is important to note that Health and Safety Compliance Certificates obtained pre-Covid-19 and less than a year ago are now worthless pieces of paper. This is because the risks posed to workers by the coronavirus have forced the introduction of new Government-imposed legislation. A new Grading Audit must immediately be conducted and an application made for a new OHS compliance certificate.

A Grading Audit will effectively assist clients to meet the challenges of the new health and safety compliance demands. The appointed audit teams have many years of experience and professional service that help clients to save time and money by guiding them to a healthy and safe working environment protocol.
