Management systems

A workplace health and safety (WHS) management system is a structured approach to managing the health and safety risks associated with the activities of an organization. It involves identifying, assessing, and controlling hazards and risks to prevent injury or illness to workers and others who may be affected by the organization's activities.

Think of it as a set of rules and procedures designed to ensure that everyone in the workplace is safe and healthy. These rules cover things like how to handle hazardous materials, how to operate machinery safely, and what to do in the event of an emergency.

WHS management systems typically include policies and procedures, training and education, hazard identification and risk assessment, incident reporting and investigation, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation. By implementing a WHS management system, organizations can reduce the risk of workplace injuries and illnesses, improve productivity and morale, and comply with legal and regulatory requirements.
