Question 3

Will the price increase after I sign up?

Accepted Answer

We have been asked this question many times and the short answer is ...

No! in fact ongoing annual program renewal (based on a single user licence) is $497 (exc. gst).  As part of the renewal you receive all program updates and ongoing support and you get ongoing help from your friendly EasyOHS support staff.

First, the legal stuff ...

(NB. The pricing structure described on this page only applies to clients who purchase their membership at the advertised price. If you have purchased under a group promotion or other special promotion then you are bound by the terms of that agreement and the information contained on this page has no bearing on it whatsoever.)

Let us set your mind at rest, this is how our price is structured.

First, at our current advertised price, you make an initial payment of AUD$1997 for a single user subscription.   That price includes the lease of the software and membership for the first year, complete programme setup along with all the benefits that you have read about on these web pages.

This is the bit that concerns everyone. What about the price after that?

FOR YOUR SECOND YEAR WE GUARANTEE THE PRICE WILL REMAIN AT AUD$497 AND, AFTER THAT, THE PRICE MIGHT INCREASE BUT ONLY EVER IN LINE WITH THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER PRICE INDEX.

So, that means that at our current prices based on the Single User version, this is what you'll pay,
​
First year AUD$1997(Single User Licence)
Second year AUD$497
Third year. The price will be based at AUD$497 but if there is an increase it will match the CPI
Fourth year and on, if there is a price increase, it will always be in line with the CPI
​
This system could not be fairer. You know exactly what it will cost for the first two years and following that any price rises will be minimal.

If you ever thought you needed help with your OH&S responsibilities do it now.

Question 4

What is the difference between an SWP, a JSA and a SWMS?"

Accepted Answer

Safe work procedures (SWP), job safety analysis (JSA) and safe work method statement (SWMS) are all tools used to manage risk.  They follow five basic steps
Step out the task activities
Identify the hazards (what could hurt someone?)
Grade and register the initial Risk involved in performing the task
Identify ways to eliminate or control the risk
Grade and register the residual risk after the controls are put in place

In the EasyOHS programme it is entirely up to you as to what you call the document. You have several choices that ensure the document will be correctly named to suit the jurisdiction in which you operate.

The most important thing about it though is what it contains and how it is communicated in the workplace.

It is important that when adopting a procedure, JSA, or SWMS into the workplace that the persons carrying out the task are consulted on the safety aspects and that any relevant legislative requirements or standards are followed.

EasyOHS makes the production of SWPs easy as it allows you to easily format, insert icons for personal protective equipment and create a training or sign on sheet.

Question 5

Why are there only four entries in the Emergency Response window?

Accepted Answer

The Emergency Responses window has been pre-populated with four responses that will apply in many workplaces. It would be impractical for EasyOHS to pre-populate any more because every workplace has different requirements and dangers.

Each response is fully editable and should be changed, or deleted, if it doesn't exactly fit your circumstances.

The remaining 10 spaces are also editable and you should create a new response for each threatening possibility that you believe exists in your workplace.

Question 6

There's some time left on my current subscription, Will I lose that if I convert to the Cloud version?"

Accepted Answer

No. We will calculate exactly how much value is left in your current subscription and the first year’s fee for the Cloud version will be reduced by that amount. Even if you renewed your current subscription today and sign up for the Cloud version tomorrow, you will not lose a cent.

Question 7

Why do I have to pay an annual fee?

Accepted Answer

WHS/OH&S compliance is an ongoing pursuit because workplaces and work environments can, and do, change on a daily basis.
​
Staff come and go, equipment changes, inspections and reviews fall due and changes to legislation may come into effect.
​
When legal requirements for workplace safety change, even though the fundamental principles for maintaining a safe place of work remain the same, there will be different requirements in the application of the new or altered rules. EasyOHS advisors attempt to interpret the results of changes and adopt them into the EasyOHS software and website to assist businesses in managing compliance.
​
Should you be unfortunate enough to have an accident in your workplace and have not taken any steps to comply or have allowed compliance to lapse, you and your company could be liable to prosecution. Not doing anything is the worst case scenario and can be likened to not doing a business tax return or declaring any income for years and then getting notified of a tax audit on your company. 
 
How would you feel if a worker was seriously injured and you had nothing in place in terms of workplace safety and workplace safety inspectors were on their way?
​
Membership with EasyOHS means that you will have a dynamic WHS/OH&S system, with ongoing support, that helps you to achieve a realistic compliance level and, more importantly, make your workplace safe.
 
EasyOHS is continually developing and reviewing templates for Policies, Procedures, Safe Work Procedures / Job Safety Analysis and other important OH&S documents.  These templates are available for members to download and adapt into their own workplace through consultation and making any changes to suit the individual business.  This allows rapid implementation from a solid base of information, saving time and money.
 
Online video tutorials are available anytime in the members area to assist in using each area of the EasyOHS system.
​
Part of your EasyOHS membership includes the price for leasing the EasyOHS software. If you do not renew your membership obviously the software will stop running. None of your data will be lost and, when you renew your subscription, EasyOHS will continue like it had never stopped.
 
The software is continually being improved and refined. For instance, a change in the requirements for compliance might mean that the EasyOHS software needs updating to assist in covering the new requirement. These updates are always available to members to download via the website at no cost.
 
Members will be notified by email when any updates are available.
