Our Services
OHSMS Management
By setting up and administering the Department of Education’s Occupational Health and Safety Management System, schools are limiting their liability and ensuring safer educational outcomes. TeachSafe is committed to assisting schools with making this process as seamless as possible, by working as an extension of your team.
After many years of experience, our annual subscription fee ensures we become an integrated part of your school community. That way, your OHS documentation benefits from accumulated knowledge of both your school’s risk profile and safety best practice becomes standardised across your teams. This same experience means we’re also flexible altering our offering to suit your workplace.
You receive a dedicated point of contact and we spend time on campus getting to know the layout, history of the workplace and key OHS stakeholders such as the Health and Safety Representative (HSR), First Aid Coordinator, Business Manager, Principal and maintenance teams. We coordinate OHS meetings each term including drafting of agendas, post-meeting minutes and updating the Activities Calendar to ensure tasks remain on track.
For a set annual fee we cover:
-
Updates and management of safety critical and mandated documentation such as the Risk Register, Activities Calendar, workplace inspections every term, Traffic Management Plan, First Aid Risk Assessment, First Aid kit checklists, drill observer records and post-evacuation debrief notes, school policies, risk assessments, Safe Work Practices (SWPs) and chemical register all set up and maintained by TeachSafe with close involvement and approval from the leadership team.
-
Development of an online OHS portal to host documentation, assisting with version control and streamlining the process for uploading it to eduSafe Plus.
-
Help with OHS concerns including research on certain issues and support with consolidating references to Department policies or guidelines.

Audit preparation and support
Our annual fee is calculated based on the size of your school and the level of support required.

Chemical Registers
The Chemical Register is a mandated document which needs to be updated every 12 months to ensure that dangerous chemicals and goods stored onsite do not require additional safety measures. Often a time consuming and frustrating process, for primary schools in particular who do not have a dedicated lab technician, our team can assist with compiling this document for an hourly rate.
This includes:
-
Onsite audit of all chemicals on campus including all those stored in high risk locations such as the shed, art room, technology or science facilities.
-
Each chemical to be matched with its corresponding Safety Data Sheet
-
All chemicals categorised and rated in the chemical register following sourcing of its corresponding SDS
-
Final amounts tallied and additional required safety measures communicated to the school to be actioned

As part of a school’s emergency management responsibilities, evacuation maps must be prominently displayed. Our team can draw evacuation maps that meet Department of Education requirements, including the redrawing of buildings as required to reflect changes to school buildings or construction.
This includes:
-
Inclusion of critical safety measures such as fire fighting equipment and emergency lighting
-
Updates and changes to architectural drawings
-
Redrawn facilities map in PowerPoint to allow school to update as required
