How to manage occupational health and safety equipment
Minimise 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 contingency plans 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 fire fighting equipment is stored and how to use it. Regularly check your fire fighting equipment.
- You can find more information on the official workplace OHS website or contact your safety equipment supplier.
- Encourage workers to consider personal safety equipment and make sure they are aware of their rights to refuse working in unsafe environments.
