Consult
Operators of MHFs have specific obligations to consult with employees and with the community.
Employees, including contractors and their employees, need to be consulted for their operating knowledge and safety improvement ideas when a site’s is being put together.
If employees are represented by health and safety representatives, the consultation must involve those representatives.
Local councils and emergency services must also be consulted and informed about the Safety Case.
Facility operators must also inform the local council of the facility's systems for alerting the community in the event of a major incident, and provide information on the Safety Case, which community members can access at local libraries.
