|  Code of Practice: Amentity Tree Industry 1998 - NSW, Australia
Hey, was over at the Chipper thread and thought to myself: Isn't the Code of Practice (for NSW I Guess) in here? Well it turns out it isn't. Be aware, that if Work Cover shows up for an audit and you don't have a copy of this at the jobsite - you're gunna get fried.

Thanks for that John. The COP applies to NSW only.

Oh and btw, the new 2008 COP is coming out around march - april for review & feedback. My teachers keep refferring to it and it sure sounds like they are CLAMPING down on EVERYTHING. Not hard to amend to for us qualified professionals, but alot to the average hack.

The OH & S legislation demands much MORE than having this document at the worksite. Workcover are interested in records ... and proof of active assessment of safe working procedures and equipment checks ... and risk assessments are completed. See attached http://www.workcover.nsw.gov.au/NR/r...list_1284a.pdf From my understanding, risk assessments ... once done ... only need to be reviewed - if 5 years have elapsed - when work practices change - new equipment or work-method is introduced - a near-miss situation occurs Other states should visit Employer obligations in your state or territory Last edited by azrael; 6th March 2008 at 07:23 AM.
