Make it yours
Open it in Microsoft Word or Excel. Add your logo, business details, site and job information, and adjust it to how the work is done.
Brief your crew
Talk it through with the workers doing the job, have them sign on, and keep it on site. Review it whenever the job or conditions change.
What format is it?

How do I get it after I pay?

Is it compliant with Queensland law?
It's written around Queensland's Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and Regulation 2011. Tailor it to your site, consult your workers and review it whenever conditions change; no template can guarantee compliance on its own.
What if it isn't right for my job?
If it doesn't match its description or has a fault, we'll fix it, and if we can't, we'll refund you (or give you store credit if you'd prefer). Check the sample pages first, as we don't refund a change of mind.
