Commitment to health and safety

Establishing and maintaining health and safety in the workplace requires genuine commitment from an organisation. A step-by-step process for demonstrating commitment to health and safety involves:

• developing a safety policy;
• establishing safety plans that set out objectives and targets (Insert link with HR Inform Sub-topic WHS Plans here);
• determining the legislative requirements and keeping up to date with any changes (Insert link with HR Inform Sub-topic Legislation here); and
• allocating roles and responsibilities and ensuring accountability is maintained.
