Work Heath and Safety

A key function in a Work, Health and Safety management system is dealing with accidents, workplace injuries and related health issues, as well as all other events and problems that pose an immediate or potential risk to al people in the work premises.

Apart from immediate application of Emergency Procedures where required, an Incident Reporting system is required to report and process all these situations, and goes far beyond just recording circumstances and reporting the events.

Training is not only the starting point for implementing a robust Work, Health and Safety management system, it also provides a crucial method for ensuring the system remains relevant and effective, as well as fostering continual safety awareness for both management and staff across the organisation.

The initial exposure to training on WHS in might typically begin with an introductory presentation or short training course provided by a consultant or external trainer.  There are plenty of online training resources available for a business to self-train, but it is strongly advised that professionally trained Wok Health and Safety consultants are involved from the start of an implementation project. Larger organisations would be advised to hire a WHS Officer with appropriate experience an training.
