Safety in Local Government
Typically Local Government Departments have multiple worksites including Parks, Community Centres, Council Buildings, Libraries and Child Care Centres. Managing all these different facets of their business can be extremely difficult and usually many local governments have multiple systems to do so which is not cost-effective and also hard to develop comprehensive reports across the whole departments. That’s where Online WHS Systems can manage not only multi departments but also help reduce the need for multiple systems as Online WHS is easy to use but a comprehensive tool. Complete with:
- Department Management Features
- Online E-Learning Module
- Qualification and Training Needs Analysis Module
- Contractor Management

Safety Painpoints in Local Government
What are the painpoints when managing safety in the Local Government and how does Online WHS Systems address and solve these points?

How can Online WHS Systems solve these issues?

- Use the Contractor Register to keep track of contractor certifications, insurances, licences and qualifications.
- Use the E-Learning Module to make sure contractors are inducted into the safe work processes at the site including emergency procedures.
