Definitions
Registration: Following the process to register in the Port Waratah Workforce Management System. In this process, contracting companies are categorised to determine the type of documents Port Waratah requires to onboard them. This categorisation also determines the requirements of the Health, Safety and Environment Review, which is completed when a company’s current Accreditation expires.
Health, Safety and Environment Review: A review of a company’s safety and environmental management systems. A current accreditation from Port Waratah or NCIG will be recognised against this requirement. The Heath, Safety and Environment Review must be completed in the Workforce Management System when a company’s current Accreditation expires.
