Assisting businesses to identify and control workplace hazards
Every business has a Duty of Care to ensure all hazards are first identified and then controlled. Workplace Hazard identification is essential for the safety or all workers at every workplace, and can be as simple as a workplace inspection using a checklist.
A hazard is anything that can cause harm or injury to a person. Every workplace has many hazards, some in clear view and some hidden. Hazard identification is determined by conducting a workplace inspection on a regular basis. The level and type of control is best determined using the Hierarchy of Control.
Hazard Identification is a key area of our speciality
The simplest form of hazard identification is the use of workplace inspection checklists, typically by checking an area of the workplace or a process.
Using targeted checklists on a regular basis, generally monthly, is essential to identify any uncontrolled workplace hazards. This process is more effective when performed by a different person ensuring a fresh set of eyes.
We assist in the development of workplace inspection checklists. In addition, we can be that fresh set of eyes from time to time, conducting personal workplace inspections of your business.
Hazard control
Businesses should select hazard controls using the Hierarchy of Controls. In the first instance they should try elimination. If that is not possible then work down the list. This all sounds well in theory but the top three controls are hard to achieve. Generally this is because they need comprehensive changes to the workplace. The last two are easier to implement but are less effective.
So how do you go about selecting the right controls? This is another area where Site Safety – Be Safe provides that vital level of support. We can help you with either of the top three controls or assist with the preparation of procedures. We can also recommend PPE or other safety equipment.
Furthermore, a lot of the time businesses will need to use more than one control. For example, a business installs an extraction fan to suck away welding fumes, however, the workers still need to wear a respirator as a final back up to prevent breathing in toxic fumes.
OHS or WHS Risk Management OHS Risk Management
Effective OHS risk management is essential for any operating business. It takes on many forms, including simple Take 5 or SWMS right up to formal risk assessments. Site Safety – Be Safe help any size business or business model to manage their OHS or WHS risk management through:
