Nothing was ever too much trouble for her.

Comment on The road to AS 4801 OHS certification by Julie McLoughlin

Sorry for taking so long to reply! Just saw this unanswered comment. I believe that a well implemented OHS management system drives a good safety culture. They are two different things, but cannot exist in isolation. It is an important element of the OHS management system to ensure positive safety culture is measured along the way and that health and safety activities planned aim at improving that culture. For example, employees need to feel compelled to report hazards and incidents. Workers need to feel valued and positive about representing others on OHS matters.

I think that drug tests are very useful in a company or organization. A faa drug abatement program will surely improve the safety in the workplace. great topic, by the way!

This article really shows all the details of the management systems as well as the changes it can do. Just wanted to know about the culture. Is it related to the management system culture?

Wonderful approach to test both alcohol and drugs because both can make damage and harm working place by unethical behavior of human beings.

One important benefit not included in your opening paragraph – Improve business performance.

Good safety management is good business management. Not only for the reasons noted (e.g. reduced costs) but also because OHS is often an easy introduction to risk management and running a successful organisation is all about risk management.

Comment on What safety leadership strategies should you adopt by Peter | OSHEM Solutions

Peter | OSHEM Solutions — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 04:23:12 +0000

Good to see an article that recognises that an OHS Management System is crucial to safety leadership.

Many organisations fail to implement their health & safety management system and so turn to behavioural based safety thinking it will be the solution. Behavioural based safety and/or leadership are important but not only do they rely upon a management system, they are meerly programs within the system.

Have you seen the National Audit Tool (NAT) for Workers Compensation Self Insurers?

We audit and assist self insured clients prepare for their regulator audits and find that this tool is the best of SafetyMAP and 4801.

Worth taking a look at.

Planning, planning, planning.

One of the most imporant elements not sufficiently covered by this blog is planning.

Strategically planning safety just as leaders would plan any other aspect of the business. Planning objectives and targets, planning risk management, planning the methods to monitor the system and all programs. Possibly the most crucial part, planning management review to ensure continuous improvement.
