3 OHS Purchasing Checklist
The principal and/or their delegate must ensure that the OHS Purchasing is completed when purchasing, hiring, leasing, or when donated goods with potential OHS risks are to be introduced to the workplace.
The OHS Purchasing Checklist can be completed by any school employee in consultation with the Health and Safety Representative, and approved by the principal or their delegate.
The principal and/or their delegate are to ensure that section 2 of the OHS Purchasing Checklist is signed upon receipt of goods, if the goods conform to specifications.
It should be noted, that if the goods have previously been purchased, hired, or leased then an OHS Purchasing Checklist may not be required. Instead, the principal and/or their delegate are to ensure that the controls currently in place continue to effectively manage the risk.
