Importance of OHS at workplace - By: smartohs

OHS or occupational health and safety if effectively managed requires a workplace safety system.

All Australian companies are responsible for the welfare and security of their employees.

As per the nature of the business and the kind of risk involved with the work, workplace risk assessment plans need to be put in place.

Obviously, risk factor differs with greatly from industry to industry, and the Australian Government suggests that an effective way to create and maintain a healthy and safe work environment for organisations would be to integrate OHS risk management into their operations. The decision of what kind of risk management is required is based on OHS risk assessment.

It is never easy to work out a plan for executing effective OHS management in a company, before working out a plan for how OHS risk assessment is to be done. The assessment incorporates identification of the hazard, level of risk involved and the necessary steps taken for correcting the situation. Having a workplace safety system – an OHS system in place allows for a much easier execution of the risk assessment.

Smart OHS is an online OHS management system that makes managing OHS and performing workplace risk assessments easy.

Smart OHS provides its members with an OHS plan, industry specific OHS policies and procedures manuals and all the tools such as inspections, staff inductions and risk assessments to manage OHS easily and effectively for only $299 per year.

Smart OHS has a risk rating system to identify how well each workplace is performing with regard to OHS.

But the key to the Smart OHS system is that members are provided with regular email reminders with instructions on when certain OHS tasks are due and with links to the tool in the member area to complete this function.

An example is that once per month a member is sent an email reminder to complete a workplace inspection. They simply login and use the workplace ohs inspection tool to perform that task and then log out.

The Smart OHS system will remember if there is any follow up action required (if a hazard is identified and listed) and will remind the member when that follow up is due – which can then be recorded into the Smart OHS system.

Smart OHS also has incident reporting functions, hazardous substances register, contractor management tools and more.

For only $299 per year, Smart OHS is the easiest, most effective and comprehensive OHS system on the market.
