| Working Together with R&M Contractors
Contractors and sub contractors engaged to perform work on Woolworths premises or locations are required to comply with Woolworths SH&E policies, procedures and programs as specified in their contract/agreement and to observe directions on health and safety from designated officers of the organisation. The requirements of relevant statutory acts, regulations and Codes of Practices must be met at all times with this handbook providing the minimum compliance level.
SH&E Contractors Handbook
As a prior condition to commencing any work on a Woolworths site, Contractors are required
to read through the SH&E Contractors Handbook or complete the On-line Induction to ensure an
understanding of Woolworths’ Safety, Health and Environmental requirements.
Site sign-in
Upon daily arrival at site, the Contractor is required to sign in prior to commencement
of work, where the contractor will be issued with a visitor sticker/badge.
Maintenance Authority
Once signed in, the Contractor must contact the Site/Duty Manager to complete the
Maintenance Authority prior to commencing any work.
Permit To Work
If relevant, then a Permit to Work must also be completed prior to commencing any work.
Centre Management
Where Woolworths is a tenant within a Centre Management Group, the policies and
procedures within the handbook or on-line induction are to be carried through as
“minimum standards” in all areas of the shopping centre/ property.
For any works occurring outside Woolworths lease line the service provider must
contact the Centre Manager prior to commencing works to ensure compliance with
the Centre’s specific OH&S requirements. This type of work may include works on the
roof already requiring a Woolworth’s “Permit to Work” or works that may impact
the Centre’s infrastructure (eg air conditioning, fire & sprinkler/ smoke detection that
may impact the centre’s protection).

Safe Work Method Statements
