Workplace Health & Safety Management Systems by Senior WHS Consultants
Why Does a Business Need a WHS Management System?
An effective Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) Management is essential to the long-term success of any business. With the right policies, plans, processes, procedures, programs, systems, culture and behaviours in place the business can safeguard workers and visitors, protect the environment, avoid non-compliance and penalties and minimise business exposure to financial and legal liabilities.
The Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) is responsible for ensuring the health and safety of their workers (employees and contractors) and the public, while protecting the environment in which they work. To achieve this objective, you need to have appropriate health and safety arrangements in your workplace in order to mitigate your workplace health & safety risks and to comply with the Work Health and Safety legislation.
In order to win contracts and gain more business, many organisations including state and federal government entities require documented evidence of your effective management to health and safety prior to awarding the contract. Furthermore, to ensure appropriate health & safety measures for construction projects, state and federal government entities undertake initial WHS management system audit of potential tenderers through established accreditation and contractor approval schemes and perform regular WHS audits during the life of the contract once awarded.
To achieve any or all of the above, our WHS Consultants can provide tailored, practical and cost-effective ways for your WHS management, leaving you free to focus on running your business.
