‘Oh S…!’: New government safety campaign launched, free info sessions on offe
The Corporate Risk & Insurance e-news has an interesting story relating to the Tasmanian Governments WHS legislation awareness raising campaign. Titled oh s*** the Tasmanian government is reminding workplaces it's time to get their act together in terms of meeting responsibilities under the Work Health Safety Act 2011.
It's good to see a less dry approach to promoting WHS.
If you are concerned now is the time to get a move on. Before we know it Melbourne Cup will come and go and suddenly Santa is about to visit.
Our advice is plan first and follow the risk management approach. This may be the time to consider getting in some help.
Work Risk Solutions has found that the clients we help via planning assistance and a mentor approach have a more robust and workable WHS system than organisations that do a rush job.. The rushed method of trying to get everything done in a short time frame has the risk of watching it all collapse when the assistance/consultant leaves.
Don't forget the "Board". The WHS Act puts fairly high expectations on boards so include them in considerations from the beginning.
