FAQ
Questions specific
to manufacturing & industrial.
The five or six things every operator in this industry asks us before getting started.
Yes. A dedicated LOTO procedure follows Safe Work Australia's Code of Practice — Managing the risks of plant in the workplace, with permit-to-work, lock register and verification steps.
The pack generates an SDS register, hazardous chemicals manifest and labelling procedure aligned with the GHS 7 revisions adopted across Australian jurisdictions.
The incident register includes s.37 dangerous incident triggers, the 24-hour notification requirement and a preserved-scene procedure ready for regulator attendance.
Output is held to insurer-grade standards. Customers regularly use PolicyPack output as their compliance evidence for plant and machinery insurance renewals.
If you flag food or pharmaceutical processing, the pack adds GMP and Food Standards Code 3.2.2 overlays on top of the core manufacturing controls.
