Preamble
The Land Surveyors Licensing Board (LSLB) Safety Management Plan (SMP) has been compiled for the use and guidance of Licensed Surveyorsin the conduct of their duties. This SMP, the Risk Assessment and the Guidelines are of a generic nature and must be reviewed and modified/updated to suityour specific modes of operations, procedures and risks.

The document is a Word template, and when opened it prompts for the name of your Company; name of the Manager, the Manager’s title and the date of approval of the SMP. After the data has been entered,the document will need to be saved as a document (rather than a template).
This document explains each section, and what can be modified or deleted.
