The Management Commitment and Policy, Planning Implementation provides the foundations to build the WHS & IM Systems, similar to building a house. Safety SA Consultants can assist your organisation with the Planning Implementation and Programs.

 

Management Commitment and Policy

It needs to set the framework for continuous improvement.  Safety SA Consultants  can assist your organisation with the development of a Peak Policy that would also reference a WHS Responsibility Policy containing the responsibilities and accountability of positions throughout the organisation, and where available, a reference to any Code of Conduct Policy regarding responses towards serious WHS non-conformances and breaches.

Safety SA Consultants can provide a suite of WHS&IM Policies and Procedures tailored for your workplace, including the requirements for self-insured organisations.

 

Planning

The successful implementation and operation of WHS & Injury Management systems requires an effective planning process with defined and measurable outcomes. Safety SA Consultants can provide both Strategic and also Operational Plans. The strategic plan starts with the above peak policy statement and its objectives and addresses the schedules, resources and responsibilities necessary for achieving them. Self Insured organisations should have strong accountability measures.

Safety SA  objectives, targets and performance indicators can be provided to measure the effectiveness of the WHS, and Injury Management systems and to identify areas requiring corrective action and improvement.  Performance indicators can also be used as s.m.a.r.t. and also behavioural improvement strategies. The WHS Operational Plan can support monthly actions to ensure legislative compliance and also include any behavioural improvement strategies.
