Managing Risk Management Policies And Rules

Employers, managers and supervisors should all ensure that workplace practices reflect the risk assessment and safety statement. Behavior, the way in which everyone works, must reflect the safe working practices laid down in these documents. Supervisory checks and audits should be carried out to determine how well the aims set down are being achieved. Corrective action should be taken when required. Additionally, if a workplace is provided for use by others. The safety statement must also set out the safe work practices that are relevant to them. Hence, it is

Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations

It is important to recognise the different responsibilities and approaches of a member of staff, the employer and others in the work setting. For example the employer is responsible to provide PPE and relevant health and safety training free of charge. It is then the responsibility of a staff member to use the PPE and to attend the training. So although the responsibilities are different they are also related and both need to work in order to ensure a high standard of health and safety. The employer provides as safe working environment, however if an accident or incident occurs it requires the efforts of both staff and sometimes others to report this to ensure measures are put into place to reduce any risk associated with the incident or accident. Another example of how health and safety has a linked responsibility can be shown through a member of staff ensuring they provide the relevant fire safety information/instructions to others. It is then the responsibility for others to follow these instructions.

Also employers should provide up to date courses on health and safety to ensure that staff know how to keep themselves and others safe in the workplace and any outside visitors or customers that come in and to be able to co-operate with their employers. Also make sure they are following safety rules like using equipment safely, ensuring materials used are properly stored, handled, used and transported, to provide a safe working environment for employers, to provide a written safety policy/risk assessment, also staff should know what to do in case of an accident occurring at work or how to report any safety risks.

The human resources process has to accompany both the employee and employer in regard to safety issues. An employee wants the assurance of safe and healthy working conditions; anything less exposes danger to their own wellbeing. In addition employees must take heed to precautions design by the organization. However an employer wants to avoid expenditures in overhead by cutting cost or corners often putting their employees at harmful risk. In addition, organizations also have a lawful obligation in which they have to provide a safe workplace by preventing accidents, hazards, serious injuries or accident-related deaths. Negligence on either behalf can result in determination, fines, citations, work-related

Health and Safety policies are aimed at protecting staff and the public whilst at work and all staff are required to make themselves

The introduction of company policies and procedures has reduced the overall costs to the businesses. The introduction of safety procedures reduced injuries to staff making it so they had less time off increasing production. Enforcing a maintenance procedure meant the equipment breaks down less also reducing risks of injuries to staff and increasing production. Having set procedures also takes the thinking out of the hands of the staff everyone is treated the same and everyone knows what is required of them, and who to seek out when there is an issue. Companies have the primary duty of care to ensure staff are working in a workplace that doesn’t pose a risk to the health and safety of staff. A WHS management plan informs the relevant individuals

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 was implemented in order to set out the general duties which employers have towards employees and members of the public, and employees have to themselves and to each other. It was mainly needed to; cover all workers within the work place, deal with fast changing technology, and deal with major hazards and address the accident rate. 

The act follows a principle of 'so far as is reasonably practicable'. This means that the employer does not have to take any kind of measures to either avoid or reduce the risk if it is technically impossible, and are in any kind of doubt of putting themselves at high risk by taking the measures in hand.

Support can come in many ways. Investment in safety education and training will allow employees to gain necessary safety knowledge and help them to

So, plan effectively it is important and place the best techniques for training and motivating staff to work safely into practice.

Any information, instruction, training and supervision needed to make sure that all workers are safe from injury and risks to their health

It is important it have a written work Health and Safety Policy for the organizations and businesses which have management systems. The Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 addresses Major Hazard Facilities in Regulation 558 and Schedule 17(1.2) and requires that the Safety Management System includes a Safety Policy, including the operator’s broad aims in relation to the safe operation of the major hazard facility, and that the safety policy must include and express commitment to ongoing improvement of all aspects of the safety management system. A Work Health and Safety Policy is an explicit statement of business commitment to work health and safety. It will include a statement outlining the importance which is placed on work health and safety and how it is to be implemented.

Worker safety is a factor of critical importance to organizational management. The prevention of workplace accidents, the provision of proper safety equipment, the use of effective training methods, the presence of well-enunciated first-aid procedures and the existence of a consistent policy where safety procedures are concerned all will contribute to the overall safety of a working environment. In turn, the maintenance of a sound and safe working environment will reduce undue costs resulting from lost labor, worker's compensation, legal entanglements and lost productivity. This makes worker safety a critical dimension of the overall strategy for effective organizational management. It is thus that we enter the literature review conducted here, in order to better understand the relationship between the assurance of workplace safety and an encompassing management strategy. In accordance with the literature incorporated into the present review, this encompassing management strategy is Total Quality Management (TQM), the relevance of which will also occupy an important part of this review.
