Editorial and Advertising Security Insider is published by The Australian Security Industry Association Limited PO Box 1338 Crows Nest, NSW 1585

President’s Message Goodbye 2021 and hello 2022, which I am confident will be a much brighter year for everyone, especially the industries which faced long-term closures, resulting in many losing their jobs. For the most part, the security industry has weathered the storm and responded to the COVID threat with the introduction of new technologies and services to customers.

Economic outlooks by the Reserve Bank of Australia state the economic recovery is underway and GDP is forecasted to grow by 5 ½ per cent over 2022 and unemployment between 4-5 per cent. These economic indicators will provide individuals and businesses greater confidence as we start to see widescale return to the workplace, resulting in increased spending across many industries. Specific to the security industry, we should also expect growth in all sectors as demand for residential, commercial and industrial construction grows, as well as an increased demand for security related service activities.

Subject to unforeseen government lockdowns, 2022 will see a return to face-to-face networking events organised by ASIAL, including our industry breakfast briefings, industry awards, conference and exhibition. It has been a long two years and while virtual events have filled the gap, we are looking forward to meeting faceto-face again. As I travel around the country, I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible, to build on the feedback from the recent member survey and hear your thoughts on how we can improve the level of service provided to members.

Hopefully by now, every member has had a chance to read the Security 2025 research report, which detailed where the industry is today and where it needs to be by the year 2025. At the heart of the Report’s findings, is the need for government, industry and customers to work together to effect meaningful change.

The security industry will play a vital role in responding to future threats and challenges we face as a country. Which is why a professional, well-trained security workforce, where nationally consistent standards are enforced,

Tel: 02 8425 4300 | Fax: 02 8425 4343 Email: communications@asial.com.au Web: www.asial.com.au Publisher

where there is a strong culture of compliance and governance and where technological innovation is embraced will be vital to achieving this. There is a clear need for shared ownership by government, customers and the Security Industry to achieve meaningful change.

During the coming year, ASIAL will re-double its efforts to advocate for greater professionalism and national consistency to ensure we raise the standing of our industry.

Over the coming year, the Association will be launching a number of new member benefits and services, including discounted access to Australian Standards and a new ASIAL app, where members will be able to access a range of member services and be notified of the latest updates. Mobile accounts for over half of web traffic worldwide and is expected to continue to be the way we access the internet.

On numerous occasions over recent months, I have flagged the need to encourage greater female participation in our industry. Over the coming year, we will embark on a range of initiatives to promote greater female participation in our industry. Over recent years, I have seen firsthand one of the limitations to growth in our industry, the lack of suitable and available people, from protective services through to electronics and everywhere in between.

As an industry, there is much more we can do to promote the career opportunities and pathways on offer in our industry, including to women.

For its part, ASIAL will launch an online careers in security resource in the coming months to assist job seekers in understanding the career opportunities, requirements and renumeration available in the security industry.

Until next time, thanks for supporting ASIAL, let’s continue to play our part in keeping ‘A safe and secure Australia’.

LIFELINE FOR MAJOR EVENTS IN NSW Organisers of major events and festivals that have been cancelled or significantly disrupted by COVID Public Health Orders will be supported by funding through the NSW Government’s Event Saver Fund.

Premier Dominic Perrottet said the funding was a critical lifeline for major event organisers who have had to cancel, postpone or vary their events, providing them the financial security and certainty to plan and deliver their future events in NSW. “Major events are a key economic driver that create thousands of jobs across the state. The Event Saver Fund will ensure that organisers aren’t left high and dry as we work through this latest phase of the pandemic and sends a strong signal that the Government is here to support business,” Mr Perrottet said.

Treasurer Matt Kean said the funding was recognition of the important impact major events have on driving tourism as well as on the broader NSW economy.

“Festivals and major events are huge drawcards and they have been significantly disrupted by the latest Omicron wave of COVID-19,” Mr Kean said.

“It is vital we provide them the support they need when their event is impacted by a Public Health Order. That is exactly what this funding commitment does.”

Major event organisers will be able to pay suppliers, staff and recover other costs where an event is cancelled or significantly disrupted as a result of public health orders imposed as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

New super laws – and why they’re important for you

Stapling – good news for workers The Australian Government has introduced super reforms for the 2020 – 2021 budget, called ‘Your Future, Your Super’.

With these new laws, they expect to save Australians $17.9 billion over 10 years*.

Part of the reforms is the introduction of ‘super stapling’, which refers to how your nominated super account is attached (‘stapled’) to you.

Previously, if you changed jobs, your new employer could set up a super account for you with their default super fund, which may be a different fund from yours. Now, with stapling, employers are generally required to pay your super into your existing stapled account.

The idea behind stapling is to prevent people from having multiple super accounts, paying multiple fees and insurances.

The forecast over ten years is that stapling will reduce multiple accounts by 2.1 million, saving workers about $2.8 billion in duplicate fees, insurance and lost earnings*.

Choose your account The introduction of super stapling makes it even more important for you to actively choose a super fund best suited to your circumstances and needs.

To chose the super fund that your employer contributes to, simply speak to them about how you can advise your nominated super account.

If you start with a new employer on or after 1 November 2021 and don’t choose a fund, your employer will generally pay your contributions to the account that has been stapled to you.

Comparing super fund performance As well as the introduction of stapling with ‘Your Future, Your Super’, the YourSuper Comparison Tool has been introduced. This tool could help you see how your super fund is performing, and choose a well-performing fund.

By changing from an under-performing fund to a well-performing fund: › A working Australian in their 20s could have around $87,000 more when they retire* › A 50-year-old working Australian could have around $60,000 more when they retire* It’s good to see the benefits these changes will bring to employees across Australia. For members who choose for their super, you can be confident you’re with one of Australia’s top performing funds^. Our goal will always be to help you achieve your best retirement outcome.

LABOUR HIRE AUTHORITY TO TACKLE SHAM CONTRACTING IN VICTORIA Victoria’s labour hire licensing body is tackling sham contracting across all sectors of the labour hire industry, including security.

Sham contracting is one of the most commonly used illegal practices in the labour hire and other industries. It is used by some businesses to unlawfully reduce labour and taxation costs.

In addition to being exploitative to workers, sham contracting provides businesses with an unfair competitive advantage, making it harder for legitimate businesses to compete and win contracts.

The Labour Hire Authority (the Authority) will provide educational material, available at the link below, to licensed labour hire providers in Victoria with unusually high numbers of independent contractors.

Providers who believe they may have misclassified their workers will have the opportunity to correct any issues, and the Authority will assist them to ensure they comply with the law moving forward.

Where providers maintain they have properly classified their workers as independent contractors, further information may be requested to assess compliance with legal obligations applicable to independent contractors in a labour hire context (e.g. superannuation, PAYG, payroll tax).

The work also ties in with Recommendation 17 in the recently released Victorian Government Review of the Private Security Industry, which requires individuals operating as independent contractors to hold a business licence under the Private Security Act 2004.

The Authority encourages all providers in the security industry to review their business practices and ensure all workers are correctly classified, and that they are compliant with all legal obligations owed to both employees and independent contractors.

SECURECY HAS CHANGED THE GAME Managing Security deployments at events and stadiums is a wild beast. Casual workforces, fluctuation and unpredictability of events, frequent deployment changes, high compliance requirements and contractor management all add to the challenge.

The team at Securecy has worked closely with some of the largest security providers and venues to create a fully digital workflow to completely revolutionise the way security deployments are managed at events and stadiums.

Events can be created within the roster, which ‘silos’ rostering, communications and very importantly timesheets.

Deployment spreadsheets can be imported, maintaining all critical data including roles, positions, start and end times, shift notes and second deployments.

There is also very sophisticated contractor management, including automatically separated timesheets.

One of the most important features of Securecy’s event and stadium module is the fully compliant, digital supervised sign on process. And with Securecy’s resource module, assets like uniforms and radios can be allocated to guards at sign-on quickly and easily. Resources are automatically logged and if resources aren’t checked back in at sign-off, the detailed resources log will show all outstanding assets.

It’s so much quicker and more efficient than traditional manual sign on and can be easily scaled by adding devices.

The largest sign-on through Securecy is approximately 700 guards for just one event.

AIG Security uses Securecy for Marvel Stadium as well as many other events and venues in Melbourne.

“Securecy has made a huge improvement to our operation and has driven efficiency across all elements of our business - from rostering, compliance, communications and especially the digital sign on process.

The responsiveness of the Securecy team and support availability means we have the confidence to meet the challenges of high-volume deployments. It also makes billing and payroll seamless.

Securecy is a must for events and stadium security providers”.

What’s even more exciting is our new feature - Stadium Manager. Stadium Manager allows the end user (stadium or event manager) to create the deployment directly from within Securecy. The deployment then automatically generates the roster for the master contractor to populate. It’s the last piece of the workflow puzzle - and it means no more spreadsheets!

2021 RIDING THE WAVE Twelve months ago, the world was in a state of shock at how fast and how far the COVID-19 virus had spread and how dramatically it had impacted on our lives. The Security Industry was certainly no exception. And during 2021, COVID news, lockdowns and daily counts of new cases became almost commonplace. Everyone has had to adapt and again, the Security Industry has proven itself a match for any challenge COVID has thrown at us. Indeed, in spite of all the predictions and the general sense of gloom, as reported in the 2nd Annual ASIAL Security Industry Licensing Report, the Security industry has continued to grow since 2019.

Continues over page >

SEC URI T Y I N SI DER | JANUARY–MAR C H 2 02 2 2 5

SEC URIT Y F E AT URE

And the Security Industry’s public profile has steadily grown with nearly 100 mentions in national media – more than double the coverage of the previous year. This has been mostly in the national NINE Media press and the NEWS Ltd press, which constitutes 80% of Australia’s newspaper market.

Nowadays some people optimistically look forward to a time when COVID and masks and lock-downs are all over and we can return to normal. Others have resigned themselves to the idea that this is “The New Normal” and that society, and our Security Industry with it, will need to continue to ride the wave.

Many Australians reported feeling unsafe online (41%), with fears of cybercrime, identity theft and other cyber attacks while using online banking, chatting on social media or online shopping.

The findings of the ASCI appear slightly prophetic with the recent announcement by the Federal Government that all social media platforms will be required to monitor their users’ online content and make it available to security authorities. This in turn points to the predicted shift in the role of the private Security Industry in coming years.

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY OFFICERS’ DAY

CHANGING OF THE ASIAL GUARD In mid-2021, after nearly a decade as President, Kevin McDonald was succeeded in the ASIAL Board elections by John Gellel as President, who was joined by his Vice President, Rachaell Saunders. The new Leadership team were ready to articulate what they saw as priorities for the Security Industry. The ASIAL Board and organisation are renewing their efforts to address the labour shortage issue in the Security Industry, the increasingly important role women play in the profession and creating awareness and opportunities for security companies to tackle the pressing issues confronting the industry in coming years. To that end, in September 2021, they unveiled the Security 2025 Report, commissioned by ASIAL. The stark warning in the very frank report by the Australian Security Research Centre emphasises that Australian companies, governments and the Security Industry must work together right now and bring about crucial reforms if the country is to have the capability to meet key security threats in coming years.

Security 2025 recommends the creation of a Security Industry Coordination Office within the Home Affairs Ministry to facilitate rather than direct achieving national regulatory uniformity. It also lays out twelve priority areas where the Security Industry can focus its attention, including how to boost the standing of the industry in Australian society, incentivise more qualified people to embark on a Security career, position the industry as a partner with Commonwealth Defence and Security forces and embrace and “own” emerging and nascent security technologies.

CONFIDENCE IN SECURITY (ASCI) In March 2021, the inaugural Australian Security Confidence Index (ASCI) was delivered, shedding light on the attitudes and feelings of Australians in all walks of life about their confidence in their security.

More than a third of Australians (36%) said they feel unsafe during daylight hours, rising to 53% after dark with cybercrime top of the list of national safety concerns.

2 6 SEC U R IT Y IN S IDE R | JA NUA RY –M A RCH 2022

Nowadays some people optimistically look forward to a time when COVID and masks and lockdowns are all over and we can return to normal.

One of the happiest events of 2021 was International Security Officers’ Day in July, which generated record media coverage and participation. Across the country, workplaces, individuals, Parliamentarians, friends and families joined the Security Industry in thanking Security officers for the great work they do.

ASIAL placed feature articles in all the NEWS Ltd newspapers showcasing the kind of work Security officers do day-to-day and this was repeated in November across the NEWS Ltd network with another “hero” story.

MUTUAL RECOGNITION Throughout 2021, ASIAL continued the core business of pressing for regulatory reform with a constant stream of correspondence and meetings with Ministers and Regulators across the states/territories and the Commonwealth.

The achievement of Automatic Mutual Recognition (AMR) was one major step in the right direction, because it sets up a formal, federal framework through which the states and territories can recognise the right of security companies to work across borders.

Despite the compelling case presented by the Federal Government and the successful amendment of AMR in Commonwealth Law this year, some states and territories doggedly pursue self-interest at the expense of the Security Industry’s ability to operate freely

S E C URIT Y FE ATU RE

across borders. Although the industry has welcomed the leadership of the Federal Government, the major road block of state and territory entrenchment remains. For as long as the states and territories persist in imposing their own red tape and limitations on the Security Industry, ASIAL and leaders in the Security industry will continue to press for a modern, efficient and fair regulatory environment that treats all security companies equally. Only a uniform, nationally consistent regulatory environment can permit the Security Industry and the nation to meet the pressing challenges to our security in the years ahead.

A DIALOGUE WITH THE AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE FORCE In mid-2021, ASIAL opened a dialogue with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) about plans for general mobilisation.

The Australian Military recognises the key role private security will play in the event of a national emergency and ASIAL has been identified by the ADF as a central contact point for the entire Security Industry as well as a provider of key insights and advice to the ADF for general mobilisation planning as it relates to domestic security provision. The ADF’s General Mobilisation Design Directorate is expected to begin consultation in 2022 with ASIAL with a view to incorporating private security providers into their planning.

A RETURN TO CONFERENCE - VIRTUALLY When the COVID emergency prevented the annual ASIAL Security Conference and Exhibition in 2020, many in the Security Industry were keen to find an alternative so that important connections between manufacturers, scholars and practitioners could be maintained. ASIAL innovated a virtual conference and exhibition, which was held in October.

The theme for the 35th annual ASIAL Security Conference was ‘Security in Transformation’, highlighting the importance of an innovative, technologically advanced and competitive Security Industry in delivering improved security outcomes that are responsive to changing market needs.

As demand for security services grows, digital transformation and innovation is critical to the future industry’s development. Technologies such as video analytics, augmented reality, cyber security and robotics will become commonplace. Security providers will need to embrace change to remain competitive.

A raft of Australian and overseas speakers from academia, big business, small business, the media and the military ranged over a suite of pressing issues of importance to the Security Industry and those who use it.

WHAT’S IN STORE FOR 2022 AND BEYOND? The 2nd Annual ASIAL Security Industry Licensing Report reflected the inherent strengths of the Security Industry. It showed for example that from 2019 to 2020, the total number of individual security licence holders increased 3.9% to 153,526 (up from 147,729 in 2019). NSW accounted for 36% of all individual security licence holders nationally and 45.6% of all Security Firm/Master Licence holders. However, the ACT, Tasmania and Western Australia also saw significant growth in individual licence numbers. It will be very interesting to look back over the year 2020-21 to track the industry’s growth in that period.

But what does the future hold? In February 2022, ASIAL will again ask the Australian people how they feel about their security in a range of settings and compare that with the results from February 2021. The findings of the provocative Security 2025 report will inform plans to ready the industry to meet the challenges of the next few years and will no doubt prove a useful tool to security companies all over the country in their own planning and development.

With Automatic Mutual Recognition (AMR) achieved, future opportunities to further reform the regulatory framework governing the Security Industry can be explored with the aim of bringing about more and more meaningful improvements in how the Industry is controlled by governments.

And of course, there is COVID and recent news of the so-called Omicron strain. Clearly, the COVID saga has longer to run and our industry – along with the rest of Australia and the rest of the human race will have to learn, adapt and innovate so we can continue riding the wave.

SMART, SAFE, AND SECURE Utilising your security system to get back to business

By Dean Matheson

Gallagher’s Melbourne-based Technical Account Manager, Dean Matheson, shares his insights on how organisations can utilise the existing functionality that lies within their security system to support contactless experiences, smarter buildings, and improved capabilities for their employees and visitors.

2 8 SEC UR IT Y IN S IDE R | JA NUA RY –M A RCH 2022

The past 18 months have brought significant change for many industries around the world. But it has also introduced some unique opportunities to transform how we work.

With many Australian states now opening up, we’re seeing more organisations exploring how they can meet newly introduced compliances, better optimise their facilities, and ensure they can protect their staff and visitors through creating contactless environments.

Amidst all of this change, many business owners are now asking themselves: ’How do we put these new behaviours into practice and what can my existing security system do to help us create a safe return to business, both now and in the future?’

MAXIMISE YOUR EXISTING SYSTEM Through the acceleration of access control technologies to support frictionless experiences and smarter buildings, the wider benefits of a physical security system are becoming more apparent for many businesses.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that people are now expecting more from their everyday environments.

Access control technology plays a key role in enabling people to work the way they want to through seamless automation and intelligence, and the best part is, this functionality is often readily available within their existing security system,” says Dean Matheson, Technical Account Manager for Gallagher.

“With so much uncertainty around what the future may bring, spending money needlessly is not something many businesses can consider doing right now,” says Dean. “It’s important to remember that there’s so much you can do with your existing security system without needing to

S E C URIT Y FE ATU RE

invest in new platforms, and by working with your manufacturer and integrator they can help you to understand what’s possible for the needs of your site.”

MEETING COMPLIANCE AND PROTECTING YOUR PEOPLE Being able to ensure people have the valid requirements to be on site has become a significant part of employee and visitor health and safety. In some cases where the risk of infection is higher, frequent employee testing is required to meet government compliance and to ensure business continuity.

Through utilising competencybased tools in your access control system, businesses can manage compliancy requirements and employee access.

“If you have a situation where you need to ensure employees and visitors have been tested or need to be vaccinated, rather than manually checking, you can enforce business policies at the door so that when someone badges, the system can validate entry to the site, and if they don’t comply, you can record why and prompt their next steps,” says Dean.

“This functionality really speeds up the manual process, which is an area we are seeing increased demand from businesses and their employees. People want ease of access, remote onboarding, and tools to ensure they are compliant with regulations,” explains Dean.

“These regulations are no doubt going to continue for some time, and we may even see new ones introduced in years to come, so it’s all about setting your business up for the future.”

MOVING TO MOBILE When implementing mobile technology as part of an integrated security system, it can transform the way a business manages their access control and simplify how people interact with their office space.

“Some may question the cost and practicality of mobile access control, however it’s simple to operate, easy to deploy, and can also offer significant cost-savings,” explains Dean. “Not only that, as businesses navigate the challenges of limiting physical contact, mobile technology is a great way to manage credentials remotely for a contactless experience.”

“This is a huge benefit for organisations managing a global team, as there’s nothing stopping you from onboarding someone with a mobile credential, anywhere in the world,” adds Dean.

OPTIMISING FACILITY USE A return to the workplace may look a little different to what many were used to before, with more businesses implementing a hybrid approach of mixed remote and in-office working. This approach can cause some uncertainty around how many people will be working from the office and when.

A 2021 survey by The Committee for Sydney gave some insight and found that 51% of leaders expect that their employees will commute to the office for just three days a week, and 36% expect their staff will cluster their office days from Tuesday to Thursday.

“For many businesses, the pandemic has forced a reconsideration of their overall office design; with many opting for agile working spaces, hot desking, or bookable office resources to optimise space, reduce office footprint costs, and encourage cross team collaboration,” says Dean.

“Locker management systems are a popular option for these environments to provide teams with a secure place to store their belongings in lieu of being attached to a single desk space. We’ve also

seen businesses utilising system features that enable you to allocate people to desks across a certain timeframe. This provides a way for businesses to keep a record of where people sat each day, while also giving cleaners time to sanitise between people and provide staff with an extra layer of confidence that their space is safe.”

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE Dean concludes: “When considering the move back into an in-person environment, there is a sense of hesitancy. Employers are picking up on this and want to do everything they can to make environments safe for everyone. There’s no one size fits all, so using a flexible security system that has the features and functionality within it to achieve what you need, both now and in the future, is imperative, “Now is the time to utilise the existing functionality within your security system in new and innovative ways to enable a safe return to business.”

INDUST RIAL RE L ATI ON S

Why is the FWC decision in the BHP Mandatory Vaccination Case important for the Security Industry?

By Chris Delaney

In December 2021, a five-member Fair Work Commission Full (FWCFB) bench ruled that BHP failed to adequately consult with workers about mandatory vaccination at its Mt Arthur mine before announcing deadlines on site access. So what relevance has this to the security Industry? Simply stated, a lot.

It is not just about whether it is lawful and/or reasonable for an employer to mandate COVID 19 Vaccinations. What it is really all about is how and what employers must do when considering the implementation of a policy that creates major change in the workplace.

FWC President, Justice Iain Ross, Vice President Joe Catanzariti, Deputy President Tony Saunders and commissioners Alana Matheson and Bernadette O’Neill accepted the CFMMEU’s argument, that BHP’s communication with workers fell short of the requirements of its Enterprise Bargaining Agreement’s (EBA) consultation terms before announcing on October 7 that its workforce would have to be vaccinated by the end of January.

Every Modern Award and every EBA has a Consultation Clause – most have provisions like this: Part of the Consultation Clause from the Security Services Industry Award 2020 Clause 27. Consultation about major workplace change 27.1 If an employer makes a definite decision to make major changes in production, program, organisation, structure or technology that are likely to have significant effects on employees, the employer must: a. give notice of the changes to all employees who may be affected by them and their representatives (if any); and b. discuss with affected employees and their representatives (if any): i.

the introduction of the changes; and

30 SEC U R IT Y IN S IDE R | JA NUA RY – M A RCH 2022

ii.

their likely effect on employees; and

iii.

measures to avoid or reduce the adverse effects of the changes on employees; and

c. commence discussions as soon as practicable after a definite decision has been made.

27.2 For the purposes of the discussion under clause 27.1 (b), the employer must give in writing to the affected employees and their representatives (if any) all relevant information about the changes including: a. their nature; and b. their expected effect on employees; and c. any other matters likely to affect employees.

27.3 Clause 27.2 does not require an employer to disclose any confidential information if its disclosure would be contrary to the employer’s interests.

27.4 The employer must promptly consider any matters raised by the employees or their representatives about the changes in the course of the discussion under clause 27.1 (b).

27.5 In clause 27 significant effects, on employees, includes any of the following: a. termination of employment; or b. major changes in the composition, operation or size of the employer’s workforce or in the skills required; or c. loss of, or reduction in, job or promotion opportunities; or

IN DUS T RIA L RE L ATIO NS

d. loss of, or reduction in, job tenure; or e. alteration of hours of work; or f.

the need for employees to be retrained or transferred to other work or locations; or

g. job restructuring.

27.6 Where this award makes provision for alteration of any of the matters defined at clause 27.5, such alteration is taken not to have significant effect.

WHAT EMPLOYERS SHOULD DO? 1

Develop policies affecting employees based on factual information, and in the case of mandating vaccination consider the requirements of Public Health Orders (where they exist), obligations under Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislation, the environment(s) in which work is performed and the impact the policy may have on employees.

2

Ensure that any information you rely on is relevant and current. Each of the States and Territories have different requirements at different times. Public Health Orders are dynamic and can change often.

WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY LEGISLATION WHS legislation is harmonised across most states and territories. When it comes to the primary duty of care, employers or a Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking – PCBU - must, so far as it is reasonably practical, eliminate risks to employees – and others where work is carried out - or take reasonable steps to minimise those risks.

Under Work Health and Safety legislation consultation is required when identifying hazards, assessing risks and deciding on measures to eliminate or minimise those risks. In deciding how to eliminate or minimise risks, you must consult with your workers who will be affected by this decision, either directly or through their health and safety representative.

TELLING IS NOT CONSULTING What is of most importance here is the obligation to consult.

Telling employees that they must follow an instruction that may have a significant or major effect on their workplace or continued employment may be reasonable and lawful but it won’t be if you fail to consult.

“It seems to us that the most telling factor against a finding that the Site Access Requirement was reasonable is the failure by [BHP] to reasonably consult with the employees,” the FWCFB found.

Absent of a Public Health Order, employers are generally allowed to mandate vaccines against the coronavirus only where they can show from a Work Health and Safety risk assessment, it is reasonable, taking into consideration all of the circumstances. Employers that make sound decisions based on professionally conducted risk assessments and conduct thorough consultation sessions with employees and their representatives – if any - should not feel vulnerable.

The FWCFB said, “The reasonableness of a direction is a question of fact having regard to all the circumstances, which may include whether or not the employer has complied with any relevant consultation obligations; the nature of the particular employment; the established usages affecting the employment; the common practices that exist; and the general provisions of any instrument governing the relationship.”

3

4

Observe the consultation provisions in the applicable Award or EBA. Discuss your plans with employees and listen to and respond to any concerns they may have.

Ensure new employee contracts include - if appropriate – a WHS provision expressly stating that it is a condition of employment, in the event of a pandemic, that employees may be directed to be vaccinated to protect the health and safety at work of employees and other persons in the workplace.

Before implementing any policy that may have a major impact on employees, seek professional advice.

GRADING EXPIRY DATE

No installation is Class 5 compliant unless accompanied by a site-specific Installer Compliance Statement (ICS) and Client Compliance Statement (CCS) The capability recommendation is based on an overview of AS/NZS 2201.1-2007 and its referenced standards. Full compliance is neither guaranteed nor implied. Whilst the product may be capable of meeting Class 5 standard, meeting this Class relies extensively on both the installer and the client. As part of the capability certification, the supplier has produced both a Compliance Statement and associated documents. These documents are dedicated to Class 5 compliance and form part of the Certification process. The supplier has agreed that: The required documentation will be maintained up-to-date for the period of the Certification, with ASIAL’s inspector being advised in writing of any such changes, and they will maintain compliance throughout the certification. Any changes that may have an impact upon this will be notified to ASIAL within 14 days. ASIAL may withdraw and cancel a certificate should it become aware of any non-compliance during the certification period.
