The impact of a death at work is devastating for everyone and nobody expects to say good bye to a loved one in the morning as they leave for work, to then find out they were fatally injured at work and will never return home. WHS Plans play a critical role in preventing workplace injuries or deaths.
We have experienced the impact of far too many fatalities in our line of work. Sadly, the impact goes to the immediate family, teammates and workers is lasting and difficult to comprehend. The article linked here outlines an incident that could have been prevented and the associated penalties when things go wrong.
We all have a duty of care to our work force to keep workers safe and putting in simple WHS plans that provide structure can be lifesaving. Using sub-contractors is commonplace for many, checking their competencies and appropriate WHS plans is critical to understanding how the work will be carried out. Taking care of health and safety ensures the wellbeing of individuals and the safe execution of tasks through education & communication through tool box talks, good processes and diligence that these things are in place for your business and the sub-contractors you engage with.
