Managing your WHS obligations can put a strain on internal human resources and often, if short cuts are taken, costly gaps in WHS compliance may appear. Outsourcing additional WHS support provides an independent review of workplace safety practices, can save valuable time, deliver peace of mind and prevent costly fines.
Here’s 10 ways to boost your workplace’s focus on WHS to help achieve compliance, lower costs and keep your employees safe.
- Desktop Compliance Screening, carried out remotely, is a simple way to assess your WHS and screen for due diligence. You’ll be educated on current WHS needs and receive a report to help you carry out a WHS fine-tune.
- Arrange a WHS consultant to conduct an on-site visit for a WHS gap analysis and review. During on-site reviews our consultants cast an expert eye over current WHS procedures and assess the specific risks and needs of a business.
- Obtain expert advice or consultation relating to a concern that is unique to your business, such as traffic management, high risk activities or hazardous machinery.
- Automate assistance by moving your safety system to a cloud-based platform, making it simple to comply with WHS obligations. Our new AltiusWHS Compliance Management Software can be accessed easily via laptop, desktop, tablet or mobile. We work with organisations to tailor the software to incorporate industry specific information, tools and frameworks for optimal WHS outcomes.
