Compliance Inspections
CCV recommends that Clubs be pro-active with their compliance regime and have an annual calendar/planner that is updated across the various categories listed below. In addition, a suggestion for Clubs is to create a single file or box into which critical documents are filed.
The box should be stored in a secure but accessible location so that it is easy for Duty Managers to make it available for VCGLR, Council, Worksafe or Fire Brigade inspectors.
Using tab dividers, the information can be stored securely and neatly. Having these documents stored safely in the one place will help reduce the stress that may accompany an inspection – especially if a plan or document cannot be found promptly. Here is a checklist and some suggestions for how you could organise all the documentation needed for your club’s compliance inspections:
