Safety Statements
The identification of hazards and the assessment of risks is a legal requirement under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005.
The risks to your organization from failing to manage workplace health and safety are significant at a time when workplace injuries are high and legislative requirements mounting. In many instances such failures arise from lack of knowledge and systems to manage health and safety rather than deliberate actions on behalf of managers or directors.
The most effective way to manage health and safety risks is to implement an Occupational Health & Safety Management system based on established Safety Statements.
These Safety Statements give a sound foundation to the management of risk. Whether a decision is made to adopt a formalized system or not it is advisable to work towards the recognized standard of for Occupational Health & Safety Management that is OHSAS 18001.
OHSAS 18001 is based on the principle of risk management and is modeled on the ISO series of international standards and can be easily integrated with other risk management systems. The advantage of working to this standard is that if, in the future, it is decided to seek accreditation to ISO 18001 then the foundations are in place for such accreditation.
