Can my company pass ISO 9001 and Australian Standard 4801 accreditation using Online WHS?
The Online WHS System has been designed to not only meet, but surpass the requirements for Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems, Australian Standard 4801 and ISO 9001.
Does the Online WHS System come with pre-loaded safety documents?
Online WHS comes pre-loaded with over 60 policies, procedures, checklists, forms and inductions.
The policies, procedures, checklists and forms come from HR Advanced and are backed by Australian Business Lawyers & Advisors so you can be sure the documents are both compliant with the latest legislation and legally sound.
We upload the latest documents into new systems as they come through. We let our clients know about the updates through our monthly newsletter.
How much does the system cost?
The cost of the system depends on the number of employees, contractors and volunteers involved with your business. Any changes to these numbers will result in an increase or decrease in the system price. You can view our pricing calculator here.
What are the terms of payment?
You can choose to pay a monthly or annual subscription. Monthly payments will incur a 10% price increase to cover transaction handling fees. All monthly transactions will be directly debited via Ezidebit. The contract period for initial monthly sign ups is 12 months.
What is the signing up process?
After the initial GoToMeeting, we will send you a system registration form to complete and send back. Once we receive this we will send you an invoice for the system and a Starter Kit – which is a 16 tab excel document. It’s a quick and easy way to get your system up and running.
Once you provide this to us, we upload your data into the system and send you the login details within 36 hours. Please note we only release the system once payment has hit our account.
We will then organise an initial online meeting to assist you/get you going.
Can more than one person use the system at a time?
Yes. You can have as many users as you like logged into the system at any one time.
Can I use Online WHS anywhere?
Online WHS is a cloud based system and so may be accessed anywhere with internet connection. An offline feature will be available when the mobile app is released early 2019.
