Assessing systems of work through the lens of managing risk of harm to workers in balance with business operations being as profitable as possible.
This process brings about systems of work which comply with harsh legislative requirements/penalties whilst enabling the business to not be crippled from overzealous ‘safety’ reasons for not performing work functions.
A true understanding of the intent of WHS legislation and associated codes and standards means a workplace culture of combining work practices which are derived in safety but also meet the operational outcomes needed can be achieved with continuous improvement on a daily basis, communication is open between workers and management and safety is a core value of all activity, not just an add on to tick a box.
