Overview

Depending on how your ODBS operates, there may be other hazards you need to address in your Safety Management System. These could include:

  • COVID-19 procedures
  • operating on an industrial work/mine site; or
  • natural disaster procedures. 

COVID-19 procedures

If your ODBS undertakes trips where there is a high risk of COVID-19 transmission (e.g. transporting a COVID-19-positive person to a hospital), you should include COVID-19 as a risk in your Safety Management System and consider procedures to manage this risk.

Visit for COVID-19 health and safety Information and other industry-specific advice.

It is also recommended that ODBSs and drivers keep up to date with the latest WA Government information regarding COVID-19, including health advice (see link below).
