SELF ADMINSTRATED QUICK CHECKLIST
The Legislation Makes You Responsible
State legislation covers the areas of Occupational Health and Safety and Workers compensation. Legislation emphasises that the employer “must ensure the health, safety and welfare of all the employees” and other persons who come to the workplace. Employers are responsible for ensuring the appropriate safety measures are implemented and maintained, therefore it is important to understand the current legislation.
Duty of Care
In its simplest terms, Duty of Care means “planning for the prevention of workplace accidents, injuries and illnesses”.
How To Use This Checklist
This self-administered checklist is a guide only. It is designed to assist your organisation to assess its OHS and Injury Management Systems against the basic requirements and to highlight any gaps or deficiencies that may exist. By answering “Yes” to a question or an entire section, this does not necessarily indicate compliance, nor will it guarantee an injury-free workplace. However answering “No” will indicate a deficiency that requires attention and that remediation may be required. If you are unsure or you need more information please tick the appropriate boxes. In this case Cameron Davey Consulting can assist in ensuring compliance.
Where To Next?
If the checklist suggests there are gaps or deficiencies in your Management Systems it is your (or your organisation’s) responsibility to make the required changes to ensure compliance. Should you need practical assistance or more information contact Cameron Davey Consulting….
