Our new sister company Life International Compliance can assist with all WHS requirements.

The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and its supporting Work Health & Safety Regulation Qld 2011does impose obligations on both employers and employees to pursue better management and control of health and safety in the workplace.  This requires an effective, visible system of controls based on workplace needs, and legislative standards.  Therefore, the development of a formal and appropriate WHS System is a priority.

Seven Essential Elements of Work Health & Safety System

• The following are, considered to be, essential elements:

  • Establishment of a Workplace Health and Safety Policy and confirming management commitment
  • Development of Workplace Health and Safety Authorities, Duties and Responsibilities
  • Development of Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control processes
  • Development of Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) to cover all tasks and activities
  • Development of an Employee, Contractor and Visitor Induction Process
  • Accident/incident reporting and investigation, WorkCover & Return to Work Rehabilitation
  • Injury Management
  To meet the requirements of the legislation, the system must not only produce the required standards, but must be capable of demonstrating, to the satisfaction of an Inspector, the means, by which this is achieved
