How do I keep workers safe?

As an employer, ensure your workers’ safety by providing:
  • a workplace that is without risk to health, safety and welfare
  • safe and adequate machinery, equipment and substances
  • appropriate plans, procedures, work methods
  • suitable instruction, information, training and supervision
  • adequate resources, including qualified personnel.
You should:
  • implement occupational health and safety (OHS) policy and procedures
  • identify workplace hazards
  • monitor and enforce corrective action
  • consult with your workers and occupational health and safety committee/representative
  • investigate incidents
  • provide relevant induction and ongoing training
  • respond to OHS issues raised by your workers or OHS committee/representative, and take corrective action where possible
  • submit statistics and reports
  • develop appropriate occupational health and safety solutions
  • ensure systems of work are reviewed and continuously improved.
