#Safety In The Workplace
Why recording and reporting are vital in workplace safety
Good documentation of workplace safety data helps leaders keep their fingers on the pulse of organisational safety by recording and reporting claims and premium data, which can have a positive flow-on effect on the premiums they have to pay.
Why workplace safety should be part of the planning process
WorkSafe have found that safety in many SMBs isn’t delegated to a responsible party, and is instead juggled on an ad hoc basis. This lack of planning has far-reaching impacts on a business’ ability to cut costs, especially WorkCover premiums. Here’s how to integrate workplace safety into your other business functions.
Do you measure up to the first pillar of workplace safety?
In a bid to lessen the complexities around business owner’s roles and responsibilities to OHS, WorkSafe has developed the ‘Seven Pillars of Safety’. The first pillar sets out clear top down responsibility, delegation and KPI’s for OHS and Return To Work (RTW). How well does your business measure up?
A look at the seven pillars of workplace safety
All SMBs should integrate workplace safety into business management systems, practice prevention rather than reaction and show commitment from owners to the process. Use the seven pillars of safety as a guideline to making this happen in your business.
