COMPLIANCE SAFETY AUDITS
In the current economic climate it is imperative to secure your assets and more so – your own safety.
The use of occupational health and safety (OHS) audits has grown in recent years. Auditing is now seen as an effective method for ensuring compliance and improving the performance of prevention systems.
An audit is a comprehensive assessment of a business’ current safety systems and procedures designed to provide a safe workplace for Management and their employees. OHS audits allow organisations to measure whether their workplace activities are meeting planned arrangements, and to identify areas of risk that need improvements to prevent injury, illnesses or damage to property or the environment.
An audit report will provide you with recommendations and a comprehensive plan to implement the recommended safety control measures and procedures.
We also provide continuous support and training throughout the implementation stages in the aim of assisting the organisation to be self-sufficient.
HEALTH & SAFETY PLAN
A suitable, sufficiently documented and site specific health and safety plan is based on the client’s health and safety specifications and this plan forms part of the required health and safety file which must be applied within the workplace. The file must be reviewed and updated on a day-to-day basis.
The Health & Safety plan will assist a business in ensuring that all relevant acts, regulations and standards are complied with on a daily basis to prevent incidents and accidents occurring.
We assist in the compilation of new health and safety file and assessing existing on-site health and safety files for compliance to the relevant acts, regulations and standards according to specified work carried out within the business.
RISK ASSESSMENTS
The purpose of a safety risk assesment in the workplace is to ascertain the level of seriousness and harm that exist in the workplace activities.
The results of a safety risk assessment is to address, plan and implement adequate levels of safety measures to minimize these risks.
The employer has the legal repsonsibility to ensure a working environment that is as safe as possible for all employees.
We will do on-site observations to identify risks, recommend measures, policies and training to mitigate these risks.
