All incidents, whether a near miss or an actual reportable event should be investigated. Near miss reporting and investigation allow you to identify and control hazards before they cause more serious incidents. Incident investigation is a tool for uncovering hazards that either were missed earlier or have managed to slip out of controls planned for them. It is useful only when done with the aim of discovering every contributing factor to the incident to “foolproof” the condition and/or activity to prevents future occurrences. In other words, your objective is to identify root causes and not just to apportion blame. We at WHSE can offer our clients this service (and more…) when appointed as their consultants or when the need should arise.
A health and Safety Audit is an audit that focuses on some or all aspects of health and safety. It is a review performed to determine whether health and safety regulations, other applicable legislation and company policies (and sometimes recognized good practice) are adequately implemented and complied with.
A work method statement sometimes referred to as a safe work method statement or SWMS or a safe work procedure, is a part of a workplace safety plan. It is predominately used in construction to describe a document that gives specific instructions on how to safely perform a work-related task, or operate a piece of plant or equipment. In many countries, it is the law to have work method statements, or similar, in place to advise employees and contractors on how to perform work-related tasks safely. The statement is generally used as part of a safety induction and then referred to as required throughout a workplace; they should outline all the hazards that are likely to be encountered when undertaking a task or process and provide detailed guidance on how to carry out the task safely. A work method statement is prepared for each task on a particular worksite; the group of work method statements is then packaged and included in the overall Safety Plan. This plan is typically submitted at the beginning of a project for approval by the client or their representative.
