How to manage occupational health and safety
Minimise OHS risks at the workplace by considering the below guidelines on safety.
- Consider some typical risks involved with your building and its contents. What is flammable? What is your building made of? Which way do the doors open?
- Identify potential hazards and the level of risk they pose.
- Put in place an OHS management plan with a qualified OHS consultant for various levels of risk. Have an evacuation plan and conduct regular evacuation drills.
- Have someone in charge of fire safety. Ensure workers and family members know where firefighting equipment is stored and how to use it. Regularly check your fire-fighting equipment.
