Implementing controls and procedures as far as is reasonably practicable to manage health and safety risks associated with day-to-day operations, as well as emergency preparedness and response.
Promoting a culture of heightened self-awareness and community awareness regarding occupational health and safety risks among all workers, visitors and members of the public/community.
Directors and Top-level management involvement are key for promoting environmental responsibility. Their commitment is critical in fostering a culture of sustainability throughout the business.
Encouraging active employee participation in health and safety initiatives and decision-making to boost morale and worker engagement and reduce accidents / incidents.
Establishing and managing relationships with stakeholders, including suppliers, regulatory bodies / agencies and partners, with a focus on Health & Safety which is key to a successful OHSMS.
Preparing the business to effectively and quickly respond to and comply with mandatory industry health and safety legislation / regulations and requirements as they are updated.
