A new Delivery round hazard profile procedure standardising the process for identifying, assessing and controlling safety risks on mail delivery rounds is to be introduced in Australia Post workplaces. It is intended to replace all existing methods currently in use. The new procedure applies to all letter delivery rounds and all delivery modes.
Perhaps the biggest issues raised by the CEPU with the new procedure relate to greater involvement of HSRs in the process and where there is no agreement on the risk rating and/or the risk controls then the manager must contact the local union delegate and/or the union office for discussion on the areas of disagreement.
We await Australia Post’s response on these issues.
