Global Compliance Certification - Work Health and Safety Management System
The government agencies of NSW have initiated a work health and safety management system. It undertakes the construction and infrastructure projects and works with various industries understanding constructions. The main work is to ensure the compliance with the WHS act 2013 and NSW work health and safety policy.
Essentials of WHS management system
• It helps in improving the outcomes of the construction industry participants in terms of safety
• It provides a standard which is consistent for all the NSW government construction projects
• It also facilitates system with the guidelines of construction contractors.
• It also increases efficiency by improving the planning and reducing the deviations.
Several audits are conducted to determine the effectiveness of the management systems to identify the strengths and opportunities for improvement in the framework of NSW WHS. WHS legislation requirements include a positive requirement for audits. This plan is developed to address the findings and recommendations of the WHS status. The outcome of these audits provide organizations with the information on which the actions are taken in order to comply with WHS legislation and improve WHS performances.
During NSW WHS audit, the auditor reviews the WHS policies of the company along with the effectiveness of its framework. It also involves inspections of the workplaces where the auditor identifies risks and threats to make a relevant report and suggestions in order to improve the overall management of WHS.
Thus, the WHS Act 2011, places a primary obligation on a person conducting a business or undertaking to ensure that the workers and other persons are not exposed to health and safety risks arising from the business. For this purpose, NSW WHS audit is the most relevant way through which the work safety can be promoted.
