The Workplace, Health and Safety policies, procedures, guidelines, plans and templates can be generated from Citation HR Software.
Documents can be created in the process of completing workflows and checklists, such as a 'Lead Safety' checklist for example. Or documents can be created directly from within the 'Our WHS Documents' tabs by selecting the 'Create a New Document' button. Documents can also be generated against Register items under the item's 'Documents' tab by selecting the 'Create a New Document' button.
