Introduction
P6 Projects management have a duty to exercise due diligence to ensure compliance with WHS Act and Regulations. This includes taking reasonable steps to ensure that the business has and uses appropriate resources and processes to provide and maintain a safe work environment, and adequate facilities for workers. P6 Projects regards Health & Safety as an absolute priority and a core business value.
This Policy encapsulates the key objective of our Health & Safety Management System:
For management and staff to work in partnership to identify, assess and control risks to the health and safety of all persons engaged in the activities of P6 Projects.
Having a Work, Health and Safety Management Plan (WHSMP) in place before work starts allows management and Subcontractors to identify possible health and safety hazards that could be encountered on the job, and uses a process to safely manage those issues. P6 Projects does not assume that every possible hazard will be identified before work starts. Therefore this Work Plan has been designed to be monitored, reviewed and modified to accommodate situations that may arise during the completion of works.
To achieve this Policy, Management will:
■ Provide appropriate equipment and materials and maintain a safe working environment.
■ Create safe systems of work and provide all necessary training.
■ Establish measurable safety objectives and targets to ensure continual improvement aimed at elimination of work related injury or illness and the elimination or control of hazards and the risks which flow from them.
■ Establish, implement and maintain procedures for controlling all relevant safety documents and data.
■ Ensure all accidents or incidents (including near misses) are promptly reported to the appropriate person and authorities where necessary and competently investigated to identify control measures which will then be implemented.
■ Implement, maintain and communicate this and other safety documents to all employees and relevant parties.
■ Regularly engage in consultation with employees, managers, contractors, suppliers, visitors and others with regard to this Policy and its aims and objectives.
■ Periodically review this and all other safety documents to ensure they remain appropriate to the nature and scale of P6 Projects risks and relevant to the organisation.
This Work Health & Safety Management Plan (WHSMP) encompasses all of the work activities that P6 Projects staff and its Subcontractors undertake, as well as the health and safety of other workers and any members of the public, detailing steps, and enabling assessment of risks associated with any hazards identified, and appropriate controls to be used.
P6 Projects will implement controls in accordance with the Work Health & Safety Act 2011, Work Health & Safety Regulations 2011, by using the relevant Codes of Practice and using the Hierarchy of Controls at Heading 3.0 of the Code of Practice Managing Work Health & Safety Risks 2011.
