Testimonial

"Watershed Drug and Alcohol Recovery and Education Centre engaged IOH in 2013 to provide staff training in Manual Handling, as well as provide expert consultancy in upgrading our Work Health Safety documentation and systems, to ensure all Watershed’s sites were up to date with the current legislation and to assist us in operating at a high ‘best practice’ level in our sector. We have been very happy with the service provided by IOH and its associated expert consultant. The job done in upgrading our WHS systems has been extremely thorough. Our IOH consultant has taken the time to really understand our sector and operations and has been excellent in communicating to us exactly how WHS legislation and guidelines apply in our specific circumstances. Our new and updated documentation was drafted for us, a complete new system was developed and all our sites were inspected and advice on identified WHS issues was provided. We consider IOH to be our expert WHS providers and will continue to call upon their expertise.." Will Temple – CEO Watershed.
