• Consult with employees and health and safety representatives on matters that may affect health or safety.
• Provide safe plant, equipment, substances, systems of work, facilities, information, instruction, training and supervision.
• Manage machinery, electrical, hazardous-substance, manual-handling, noise, ergonomic and workplace-traffic risks.
• Support psychological health and a workplace free from bullying, harassment, discrimination and occupational violence.
• Prepare for emergencies and investigate incidents and near misses to prevent recurrence.

Responsibilities

Management

Management will provide leadership, resources and assigned responsibilities, consult on risk controls and verify that requirements are met.

Workers, contractors and visitors

Everyone must take reasonable care for their own health and safety and that of others, follow reasonable instructions and site controls, use protective equipment correctly, and report hazards, injuries, incidents and near misses promptly.

Stop, report and improve

Work should not continue where there is an uncontrolled and immediate risk. People are encouraged to stop, make the area safe where possible, and report genuine safety concerns without fear of disadvantage.
