About Health and Safety
A workplace health and safety management system is a framework of policies, procedures, and plans that assist an organisation to systematically manages health workplace operations and the administration of employee health and safety in order to reduce the risk of illness or injury caused by business operations.
Well-designed rules and procedures aid businesses in keeping up with work health and safety laws and standards.
However, a workplace health and safety management system is more than simply having safety-related forms and regulations, documented procedures in place to meet whs obligations. It’s about reaching the objectives and provisions of the safety documentation in an organised, ongoing way, regularly updated management system.
A practical, systems-based approach is far more effective risk management approach in preventing injuries and achieving safety objectives than a document-centric system. This is due to the fact that a work health and safety management system:
