BeSafe@Work
Risk Assessment is often of little focus in an executive workplace, yet the importance of providing a safe environment for workers is as relevant to offices as it is to an industrial setting. Undertaking a BeLife Risk Assessment ensures that your business complies with the NSW Occupational Health & Safety Legislation Act of 2000.

Risk Assessment is relevant if your company objectives include:

• To secure and promote the health, safety and welfare of staff whilst in the workplace;
• Protection of individuals at their place of work against risks to health or safety out of the activities of other individuals at work
• Promotion of a safe and healthy environment for individuals at work that protects them from physical injury and illness (including stress-related) and that is adapted to their physiological needs
• To provide for consultation and co-operation between employers and employees in achieving the objects of the NSW OH&S Legislation Act
• To ensure that risks to health and safety at the place of work are identified, assessed and eliminated or controlled
• To develop and promote group awareness of occupational health and safety issues

The Risk Assessment Process Involves:

• Identification of all work teams
• Identification of all manual handling techniques
• Identification of procedural tasks & ergonomic structures
• Identification of all associated hazards
• Assessment of the risks
• Ranking of each hazard
• Prioritising each hazard upon ranking
• Developing an action plan to address the hazards
• Identification and implementation of control measures

Reporting

Upon the completion of the risk assessment a report is provided to management identifying risks and outlining the control measures that are to be put into place.
