Work Health & Safety (WHS) Management Systems Development and review
Develop a systematic approach that can be integrated into normal
business practice and develop plans for implementation, monitoring and
review of such systems. This is done in a way that will require ownership
and participation by key stakeholders. This would require use of planning
processes to manage risk in product/facility/service provision design to
manufacture, operation, maintenance and cleaning. This would include methods
of both qualitative and quantitative risk analysis to allow the additional
development of targeted emergency, crisis and business continuity
contingency plans. Development will include implementation process whilst
reviews will review both documentation and practice.
Prepare and review WHS Management system
documentation
WHSMS including Induction and procedural documentation preparation and
review to suit the requirements of the worksite, employees and the industry.
These would be based on the risk register for the organisation with each
procedure being developed from risk assessments to ensure that relevant
risks have been addressed. Development and review includes consultation with
key stakeholders for content, format & ease of review. Hazardous materials
manifests; Emergency response procedures; Incident reporting recording,
investigation and fault/costs analysis reporting; Safe working procedure
documentation based on risk assessments; Contractor safety requirement,
Rehabilitation programs and procedures; Pre-placement and ongoing fitness
for work health evaluation programs; Compliance with industry requirements
i.e. maritime, occupational diving or mining industries; Development of
critical incident management plans

culture can be provided through surveys testing responses. This is aimed at
involving key stakeholders in determining solutions through and independent
review and analysis of the workforce status
Human factors in design
Provide input in the project design phase as part of FEED & EPCM to ensure
that these risks are managed throughout the project/facility lifecycle. This
ranges from the design- or redesign of an individual product to the design
of multimillion dollar, multisite and multi country projects across a number
of high risk heavy industries including construction and demolition, oil and
gas, transport & logistics.
