The document suggested is too general. It's the equivalent of someone saying go check the internet
If the initial poster had an answer it'd be great to share.

Hi Lorina.
Do you know for Question 3?

3) How is the medication policy implemented?

Please help if you can..

[Lorina]

Publicise the policies and procedures

Put your policies and procedures in writing and make them available to your entire workforce.

If possible, keep all your policies and procedures in a single manual, and make copies readily available to all employees.

You have an obligation to provide adequate information, instruction, supervision and training to your employees.

Ensure that new employees and contractors are trained and familiar with company policies and procedures, and that existing staff receive appropriate training, e.g. annual refresher courses.

Policies and procedures should also be reiterated and discussed with staff regularly at team meetings to ensure that employees remain aware of the importance of the policies and procedures.

Supervision of your workplace to ensure that the policies and procedures are being properly implemented by all employees is essential.

Follow-up to ensure that any failure to follow the policy or procedure is addressed.

Specify that full compliance with the stated requirements is needed to ensure a safe workplace.

After this, any deliberate breaches of policies or procedures must be treated seriously, and dealt with immediately and consistently.

All supervisors and managers must ‘lead by example’ in implementing policies and procedures. It is crucial that all OHS expectations are demonstrated through modelling and leadership at all levels of management.
