Identifying risks within your business and then controlling the risks and hazards associated with them, is one of the first steps that you must undertake to ensure you are complying with the act.
Once identified, documenting these risks, hazards and controls in a risk register is a major component of your health and safety system. This will ultimately form the basis of what policies and procedures are developed and communicated to all people that are engaged in your business. When utilised correctly, it can also help you monitor these controls and identify areas of improvements.
Your risk register also forms the basis for any site-specific safety plans or risk assessments that you might do for your business. The problem is, most business don’t have the time or the resources to dedicate to writing these systems and therefore they get rushed and poor documentation is produced or in the worst of cases overlooked, put on the back burner or forgotten about completely and not done.
