3 HSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM STRUCTURE This section describes the structure of the Management System, including the System’s hierarchy of documents, the function and status of the documents, the impact and status of external documents such as legislation, standards and codes. 3.1 Hierarchy of Documents One of the features of the Management System is that it is a documented system. This means that objectives, requirements, methods, responsibilities and other system aspects are documented. The system essentially consists of various types of documents, each with its own status, contents and its own purpose. Together, all of these documents form the foundation of the HSE Management System. These documents are arranged in a hierarchical structure, which is divided into two basic levels: • System requirements - What does the system aim to achieve? • Working documents - How do we achieve these aims? The arrangement of the documents which form the Management System and the relationship between them are shown on the following hierarchy of documents diagram.

An important principle of the Management System hierarchy of documentation is that documents must always be consistent with the level above them. For example, the Procedures must reflect the requirements of the Standards; the Standards must reflect the requirements of the Policies, etc. 3.2 Documents This section covers the documents related to the management system. 3.2.1 Policies Elliott Ventilation Systems Pty Ltd has five policies that are high level documents that define the intent, broad approach and beliefs of Elliott Ventilation Systems in relation to health, safety and the environment. The requirements of these policies are mandatory to its Armadale operations. The five policies are as follows: • Occupational Safety and Health • Environment • Rehabilitation • Fair Treatment • Drug and Alcohol 3.2.2 Standards The Standards are a set of relatively brief statements which set out the requirements in relation to a range of issues which have the potential to affect the safety and health of people, or the environment. The Standards are effectively an expansion of the Policies and are high level statements that define ‘what’ has to be achieved in relation to HSE, without including any prescriptive requirements as to exactly ‘how’ these requirements are to be met. The Standards are as follows: • ability and Commitment • Planning and Resources • Legal Compliance • Hazard and Risk Management • Training and Competency • Incident Investigation and Reporting • Performance Measurement • Documentation and Records • Audits and Inspections • Plant and Equipment Integrity • Fitness for Work • Waste Management • Resource Management 3.2.3 Management Plans These documents identify commitment, intentions and principles in relation to overall management of a particular aspect of the operation (ie emergency response plan) and to provide the framework for action and the setting of its objectives.
