Whilst involving workers is a fundamental requirement of the Health and Safety at Work Act, it also makes good sense. When workers are engaged in work health and safety, then everyone benefits, your business is a healthier and safer place for everyone, and performance and productivity increase (WorkSafe).
We can help you set up an effective process to engage with your workers and support their participation in health & safety in a variety of different ways such as:
- Hazard identification & risk assessment processes
- Establishing controls to eliminate or reduce risk
- Upon the introduction of new processes, equipment or other changes
- Appointing and training safety representatives
- Setting up and coaching for Safety Committees
- Establishing communication processes (e.g. safety meetings, toolbox talks, notice boards etc.)
- Following accidents and incidents
- Education and training
