WHS Policy
At Action OHS Consulting and Safety Champion Software, we are committed to the health, safety and welfare of
all persons undertaking work for us and people affected by our undertakings. This policy includes any person doing
work for Action OHS Consulting and Safety Champion Software, along with our clients and visitors.
Commitments
As part of our overall WHS program, we are committed to:
- Ensuring that the WHS Policy and WHS Documentation is implemented and readily accessible to all
workers and interested parties; - Complying with, and satisfy relevant OHS/WHS legislation, codes of practice, standards and guidelines
applicable to our operations; - Establishing measurable objectives and target to ensure continued improvement aimed at providing safe
and healthy working conditions to prevent work-related injury and ill health; - Consulting with workers and other interested parties in relation to WHS hazards and any associated
decision-making processes regarding risk controls (guided by the hierarchy of controls) that will impact
their workplace health and safety; - Providing appropriate training and supervision to all workers; and,
Reviewing our WHS Policy and associated documentation at least 3-yearly, or when there are changes in
WHS legislation within the jurisdictions we operate, to ensure our documentation is maintained and
appropriate to the nature of our operations.
Objectives
The overall objectives outlining how we aim to manage WHS include:
- Provision of effective and meaningful consultation to workers and all interested parties regarding issues
that may affect their health, safety and welfare – with explicit consideration to both physical and
psychosocial hazards, and management via the hierarchy of controls; - Effective implementation and onboarding of our technology platforms: (i) Safety Champion Software, (ii)
Employment Hero and (iii) OfficeVibe. Combined, these platforms provide all management with visibility
of how effectively our WHS program has been implemented and ensures that the completion of tasks we
define as important to the health and safety are monitored. Importantly, these platforms allow two-way
communication within our organisation, allowing everyone to play a role in making our work environment
safe and establishing an explicit mechanism to communicate identified workplace hazards, incidents,
along with necessary documentation and registers to support workers work safely; - Provide workers with appropriate WHS instruction, training, and supervision to allow work to be
undertaken in a manner that is free from potential harm and danger; and, - Minimising and proactively managing work related injuries and illnesses.
