Section 1 - Outcome 2 - 4-6pts
You’re on the right track, but there is more you can do to help with defining safety roles and responsibilities.
Your responses indicate that you need to be more consistent with your approach to health and safety. Ask yourself: Are safety responsibilities effectively communicated? Have you allowed adequate resources to meet safety responsibilities? Are you involved in safety issues?
What you can do to improve:
Ensure safety responsibilities are clearly defined and understood
Your workers will contribute to safety if they understand their responsibilities; and have the skills to meet those responsibilities.
Are your workers given induction training that includes safety information and outlines their safety responsibilities? Do they have clear instructions on how to deal with safety issues? Do supervisors understand their role in ensuring safety in the workplace?
Review resources to support safety initiatives
Demonstrate your commitment by providing enough time and money to deal with safety problems and to fix problems when they arise. Where problems cannot be fixed immediately, provide an alternate solution.
Demonstrate your commitment
Get actively involved with safety issues when they arise. Attend workplace meetings regularly. Speak with your workers and act upon their feedback. Ensure solutions to safety problems are implemented promptly by those responsible.
