Safety Policy and Commitment

The area of commitment or leaderships is one of the most important areas to get right and can make the difference between passing an audit but having a safety manual sitting on the shelf OR passing an audit AND actually making the workplace safer. In this video we discuss what you need to get set up and the action steps include:

1. Decide on the values and beliefs you expect and will display within your business
2. Articulate these in a policy statement
3. Assign responsibilities by assigning in Job Descriptions
4. For those individuals that have assigned H&S responsibilities, performance reviews include a review of the individual’s H&S effectiveness

Hi, I’m Tony Tikiku

After working in health and safety for over a decade, I found two problems:

* Managers are worried that they are not legally compliant

* After being trained, H&S representatives need ongoing practical advice to apply what they have learned

So I created an online H&S representative training course that teaches your team what they need to know faster and is legally certified by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).

Students also get entry to the members-only Safety Hub community where people come together to help each other, and they also get private coaching from a qualified H&S expert for 1 year.
