Safety Compliance Software: Taking the risk out of Risk Assessment
What is compliance?
Compliance basically means that you are playing by the rules, and in the game of safety and productivity, the Work Health and Safety Act (WHS) is top dog. The WHS Act states that the person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) is responsible for the health and safety risk assessment form of every worker. A failure to meet these requirements will result in sub-standard risk assessment scoring and possible penalties or fines from the relevant regulator. In the past, the completion and storage of paperwork was the most efficient method of compliance but today there are alternatives in risk assessment software.
What is a Risk in Health and Safety?
High risk construction work is generally considered to be any form of work that has the potential to cause injury or death. Safe Work Australia has identified a variety of high risk work and various codes of practice for each type.
How to Perform a Risk Assessment?
The traditional workplace risk assessment form is made up of multiple layers of paperwork including safe work method statements (SWMS), a health and safety risk assessment matrix and job safety analysis (plus more depending on the type of work). This process is time consuming, expensive, stressful and obsolete. However at SafeWorkPro we’ve developed safety compliance software that provides a digital alternative to the hassle of paperwork. SafeWorkPro is a risk analysis tool that combines all these various risk assessment forms into one easy to use app available on any smart phone or tablet device.
Compliance is necessary according to OHS legislation Australia, but with safety compliance software, it doesn’t have to cost your business so much time or money.
