Develop Safe Work Procedures
High-risk or complex tasks in your business may require written Safe Work Procedures (SWP) to prevent workplace injuries. By consulting with your safety committee and workers, you can determine which tasks need documentation and ensure procedures are clear, concise, and effective in minimizing risks.
Working Alone
Workers who work alone or in isolation face increased risk if an emergency or violent incident occurs and help is not immediately available. To reduce these risks, the OHS Regulation requires employers to assess the hazards, implement safety procedures, and ensure regular check-ins, especially during isolated or late-night shifts.
New & Young Workers
New and young workers need extra support as they build the awareness, confidence, and habits that help prevent injuries. Whether they're new to the job or just starting out, strong orientation and continued guidance are key to keeping them safe.
Orient, Train & Supervise Workers
Proper training ensures workers are competent, confident, and equipped to handle workplace hazards safely. From task-specific instruction to psychological health awareness, investing in training not only prevents injuries but also fosters a proactive safety culture.
Identify Hazards & Manage Risk
Identifying and controlling workplace hazards is key to preventing injuries and ensuring a safe environment. By assessing risks, implementing control measures, and continuously monitoring safety procedures, businesses can proactively reduce harm and protect workers' well-being.
