Many people will tell you that compiling an OHS File is the most difficult job imaginable and they are correct.  But don’t worry – help is here 😊😊

Here are some pointers to help guide you towards an efficient OHS implementation:

1. Your OHS File is a legal and public document.

2. It is VERY IMPORTANT to have a valid Letter of Good Standing from the Workman’s Compensation Commissioner at all times.

3. The contents of your file must be specific to your unique ECD center and state the exact scope of work in your file. The ECD Center/Programme Profile from your Emergency File will be suitable for this purpose too.

4. It’s a big file and the inspector will be grateful if you provide a detailed table of contents.

5. The risk analyses are the documents on which your whole OHS system is built. They should always be readily available together with communications to employees on OHS matters.

6. Always have proof of competency for the staff. This includes, but is not limited to training certificates for First Aid, Fire Fighting and OHS Officer training (mandatory if there are 20 or more employees).

7. Be sure to have a copy of all your employees’ IDs and a blank W.CL.2 form.
