Setting up a safe workplace
Effective WHS management in a workplace requires strong leadership and a commitment from everyone to make the workplace as safe as it can be. To do this successfully people need to understand their responsibilities and how they can meet them.
A written policy that is simple and developed by the business owner, in consultation with the workers, will go a long way to achieving this. A policy should:
• note the duties and responsibilities of all parties
• state the commitment to improving WHS and consider how best to achieve a safe workplace
• be dated and signed by the owner and displayed at the workplace
• be accessible to all workers
• be reviewed from time to time.
