FSC accreditation now online
The Federal Safety Commissioner has a new web page for applying for accreditation to the Australian Government Building and Construction OHS Accreditation Scheme.
In releasing this page, the FSC noted that it provided a one-stop shop to apply for accreditation or reaccreditation.
From this web page, applicants can now either complete an online submission through FSC online, or download a blank application form that can be emailed or posted to the OFSC.
Other tools to assist with the accreditation and reaccreditation process include:
- Application and Evidence Checklist (helps ensure all steps in the accreditation process, including providing sufficient documentary evidence, have been completed);
- FSC Online User Guide with step-by-step instructions to help applicants through the online process;
- Information for Applicants that provides a summary three-page overview on the desktop assessment and accreditation audit process;
- Examples of acceptable documentary evidence incorporated into the blank application form and the User Guide for additional guidance; and
- Technical support through the FSC Assist Line.
