Dear Megan McKenna,
I revise and replace my original scope (without substantively changing it) to:
Under FOI I request the OAIC to conduct a search of its Content Manager
EDRMS, searching via Search By field ‘Document Content’ for documents
containing the words ‘Work, Health and Safety Act 2011’.
From those documents identified, prioritise those documents that relate to any discussion or
analysis about the disclosure or transparency of the names of public sector employees. Any documents that are not predominantly about this topic, and appear to have only a tangential mention, may be excluded.
If the list of documents in scope exceed 50 documents, can you please advise and I will assist in reducing the number of documents to be considered.
I seek copy of those documents identified within scope.
Yours sincerely,
Verity Pane
