Occupational Health, Safety and Workplace Safety Improvement Plan

The development and drafting of the Workplace Safety Improvement Plan commenced. Consultation occurred with Department staff at all levels through: a survey sent to all staff members; a series of consultative Focus Groups; visits to business centres across NSW; and individual stakeholder meetings.

The Workplace Safety Improvement Plan will outline a strategic plan that will ensure the Department's facilities, work environments, work practices and training are as safe as reasonable practicable for the Department's staff and clients. The Plan will also include performance indicators that will be incorporated into the Department's Corporate and Business Plans.
