Working helps you gain a sense of pride and self-satisfaction, that you can support yourself and your family. There is no shortcut to success. Through hard work, we can achieve the goals of our lives. Everyone who goes to work should come home healthy and safe. It is therefore required that all workplace owners provide protection to their employees from workplace both physical and mental health and safety risks.
Employers and employees need to work together to reduce work-related risks that could cause severe injury, illness or even death. Working together means that we engage and participate in sharing information and identifying work-related risks.
If an employee feels secure, he or she can work with full concentration in delivering superior quality of work.
Nip It in the Bud
To nip the work-related risk in the bud it is essential to identify and document:
- work-related health and safety risks that have the potential to cause workers and others severe injury or illness
- the likelihood of those risks occurring
- the degree of harm that could result from those risks
- the options to eliminate the risks
- the options to minimise the risks (where the risk cannot be eliminated)
- the associated costs.
