OHS System

Having an OHS System gives you and your staff a framework for communicating and acting in a safe, responsible manner. The only place to start your communication is in writing. This serves two purposes, firstly, the business isn’t dependant on any one person to ‘part’ with their knowledge in order for other staff members to understand how to work safely. Secondly, if there is ever any question, or inspection that requires you to produce your Company OHS procedures, then there is a very clear and concise written record of what they are and how those principles have been communicated to your staff. Currently the government has placed the responsibility of the safety of your workers entirely on the employers’ shoulders. Having an effective OHS System balances that responsibility between you and your staff. After all, it has to start with the individual, and that means having all of your staff sign off an undertaking that they will follow your policies and work safely.

Wades Business Solutions Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) System consists of three components:

Company Policy Templates

The Wades Policy Templates is a user friendly system of Word Documents that can be implemented into your business simply by typing in your Company name and printing them out for your staff to sign.

 HSE Diary

Tagging of electrical devices is also covered in the OHS Diary, along with a Fire Extinguisher maintenance record. Without having a reliable system to ensure that your plant and equipment are serviced regularly, then you may be found to be negligent, should an accident or emergency occur. All of the systems that we offer are designed to be implemented into your current business operations, so that you can get on with what you do best, while meeting your obligations as an employer.
