Have
A Written Policy
If
you have five or more employees, you merely need a documented policy under the
HSWA. Even if you don't employ many people, having a written one is a good idea
because it forces you to thoroughly examine your business's risks and put steps
in place to mitigate them. It will include a general statement about health and
safety and how you plan to manage it, as well as information on who is
accountable for health and safety in your company and what you've done to
prevent or eliminate hazards. The policy should be reviewed at least once a
year, and more frequently if necessary.
Have
a Proper Training Program
Ascertain
that all employees have received health and safety training. Make it a part of
their introduction so they know it's a top priority from the start. You should
examine this on a regular basis, and employees should receive refresher
training when new policies are enacted.
Get the Write Equipment
Having
a health and safety policy is a significant step in the right direction, but
you also need to make sure you're addressing the risks you've identified.
Ensure that your employees have the tools they need to accomplish their duties
correctly and securely. It's also crucial to have the necessary signage and
training in place so that equipment is used correctly and errors are avoided.
Lead
from The Top Down
The
foundation for good health and safety is laid at the top. Ensure that all of
your employees receive regular training and that you are up to date on the
newest legal developments. You'll establish a reputation as a caring and
conscientious employer if you take a proactive approach to health and safety,
and your employees will follow suit.
Offer
an Occupational Health Scheme
Occupational
Health practitioners are qualified to assist your employees if they require
additional support or evaluation following a workplace accident, injury, or
sickness. Everyone is protected by working closely with HR and outsourcing to a
company that specializes in Occupational Health.
