Section 20 of the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 mandates organizations to develop a written program aimed at ensuring:

• The safety and health of employees during their work.
• The safety and health of individuals who may be present at the workplace, encompassing customers, visitors, and the public.
The Safety Statement serves as a solemn commitment to their safety and health. It should articulate the employer’s strategy for guaranteeing safety and health, outlining the required resources for upholding and reviewing compliance with safety and health laws and standards.

The impact of the Safety Statement extends to all work activities, encompassing:

• The careful selection of capable individuals, equipment, and materials.
• The methodologies employed in carrying out tasks.

• The design and provision of goods and services.

 

This Safety Statement is mandated to be accessible to staff and others, illustrating the identification of hazards and the comprehensive assessment and management of risks, ensuring their elimination or control (HSA).

 

The safety statement necessitates an annual review and should be revisited whenever there are alterations to work practices. Whether you need a new safety statement or seek an update for an existing one, GetReady is here to assist. We will evaluate your premises, work practices, and, irrespective of your business’s intricacy, craft a meticulously prepared document.
