It is quite common for business owners to think and say that safety is an important part of running their business.  After all, nobody REALLY WANTS to hurt a member of their staff or deal with the fallout of a serious injury in the workplace.  In fact everyone would LOVE to say that they treat safety as paramount and that it is woven into their profits.

Well - many people don't actually realise that having a safe system of work is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT.  Yes - written in law.  So this means that just saying it on capability statements and having a few old risk assessment sheets won't cut the mustard.  It is a real time, ongoing search for improvement in safe operations.

Sounds like a lot of fuss?  Well for good reason.  By safely managing your business not only are you being a good corporate citizen who cares but you're also likely avoiding the real risk of fine or prison time (Not everyone in prison is friendly - See post on industrial manslaughter).

SO here's how we make it easy.  We put in place an internationally recognised benchmark of OHS management - ISO 45001:2018 - which gives you the tools you need to easily communicate safety with your people and manage your risks.

Here is a handy infographic that we put together to back up the above reasoning.
