Policies & Procedures
Safety in the Workplace
In order for your staff to understand their roles in your business, you most likely have a policy or procedure for them to complete their job. HINT: If you don't, that’s actually a psychosocial risk. A Safety Management System with Policies and procedures for safety allow everyone to understand their input on safety in the workplace and ensure that, should hazards arise, there is a means by which workers can raise issues.
The complexity and number of policies and procedures will differ in each business and industry depending on complexity and risk; however, they should all be managed under a safety management system which follows all of the safe systems of work outlined in Section 19 of the WHS Act 2011. If this all sounds too complex, give us a call.
