3 Develop implementation plan
- 3.1 Complexity of change is identified and appropriate phases and transition plans are developed

- 4.4 Leadership and communication strategies are used to assist others to deal with ambiguity and to adapt to change
5 Implement workplace change
- 5.1 Policies, practices and procedures are altered and implemented as required to support the change management strategy
- 5.2 Modifications to systems and infrastructure are implemented
- 5.3 Required training/up skilling of affected personnel is facilitated
- 5.4 Risk registers and other safety documentation are updated to reflect the implemented change
6 Monitor and review change process and outcomes
- 6.1 Organisational safety management system is reviewed and revised to reflect the changes
- 6.2 Ongoing process are monitored following the implementation of the change to ensure it is meeting organisational requirements
