Work Health and Safety (WHS) Operational Procedures
WHS Operational Procedures define the steps required to apply the WHS Rule and Protocols.
Operational Procedures detail the specific management of various risk areas, as well as an explanation on how to implement the safety system of UNE.
Various forms and other resources are available to management, staff and contractors. Operating procedures explain when and how these resources should be used. They are developed in consultation with staff and approved by the Director, People and Culture.
Operational Procedures are strategic procedures and are different to Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs) which are tactical procedures. Operational Procedures specific to the management of Work Health and Safety are available below.

Interim Operating Procedures
Interim documents have been included in the current Work Health and Safety Management System (WHSMS) and have evolved from previous WHS related practices at UNE. No material changes to content have been made from previous documents but allow continuity in the short term until the WHSMS is developed and these procedures are superseded. Interim documents are identified as such by including this classification in the title of the document as follows: '(Interim)'.
