New WOEF stickers
Example of new WOEF sticker
What you need to know
We are now supplying a new (multiyear) model WOEF sticker that will replace the current single year expiry model, similar to the way motor vehicle warrants work.
Reasons for change
To provide a WorkSafe approved sticker that is compliant convenient, cost effective and to stop issues associated with:
- Lack of supply towards the end of any given year due to unexpected purchaser demand
- Purchasers overordering stickers they cannot use because the year date has expired
What has changed
- The use of the authentication mark (same as what is required on a certificate of compliance)
- The use of 4 consecutive year dates
- The form has now been updated to include “Pleasure Vessel” and “Mobile Medical Facility”
How to use the new sticker.
- The issuer should use an appropriate hole punch to clip the year and date of expiry.
- The back of the sticker should contain the appropriate information written in a fine tipped indelible pen.
When the new stickers are available
28 November 2022
