Organisational policies and procedures are the policies, procedures,
and methodologies used in an organisation. They include legislative
and regulatory requirements which may apply across an organisation, a
specific site, or a workplace. Requirements are documented in
organisational health and safety plans, contract work programmes,

as job descriptors and employment contracts.
Person – a person accessing services. Other terms used for ‘person’
may include client, consumer, customer, patient, individual, resident,
