A safe workplace doesn’t happen by accident; it takes effort and planning. Protecting both employee and employer requires the development of a comprehensive safety plan that addresses every aspect of safety, and every corner of each particular workplace. An effective plan must be clearly documented to ensure consistency in practice over time. Most importantly, the plan must be implemented, and as it unfolds, it should be evaluated and amended as necessary.
A key element of an effective safety plan is training. The objective of training is to ensure everyone knows the safety procedures for the workplace, and to raise awareness and skill levels to an acceptable standard.
Understanding Occupational Health and Safety Regulations
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulations set the standards for job safety, and identify the general rights and responsibilities of the employer, the supervisor, and the worker.
