Implementation of standards and effective prevention and safety protocols/procedures can help in developing an environment that is healthy and safe for everyone.
Prepare And Prevent
The very first step in eliminating hazard(s) is by understanding and identifying the hazard and who is likely to be exposed, followed by risk evaluation and taking steps to control it. These steps need to be documents to show due diligence. Further reviewing the impact of the intervention to ensure workplace is safe.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSWA), every business has a responsibility to ensure the workplace health and Occupational Safety Service of workers. It is the responsibility of business owner that others are not put at risk while working at their business.
Hazard and Risk Management
