How to improve your risk assessment & management

According to How to Manage Work Health and Safety Risks on Safe Work Australia there are 4 key factors involved in managing risks. The list of responsibilities to conduct proper risk management includes; management commitment, a step-by-step process, consulting your workers and consulting, co-operating and co-ordinating activities with other duty holders.

Management commitment is about demonstrating to your employees your investment in creating a safe working environment for high risk construction work. This task should be easy to fulfill when using SafeWorkPro as workers can easily access any procedures or documents you create as soon as you have published them. In doing this you are instantaneously able to  communicate new or changes of safety standards to your workers. Additionally, the dashboard of the application offers statistics to demonstrate key indicators of safety performance on your site.

As a site manager it is also your duty to create a step-by-step process for risk management. The risk assessment planning process of identifying, assessing, controlling and reviewing measures is easy with our software. You can create new workplace risk assessments for your particular job or worksite using our document builder or alternatively fill out a questionnaire to complete a safety document from one of our free SWMS templates.

The final responsibilities to manage involves ensuring effective communication lines between both you and your workers, as well as you and other duty holders. As workers create safety documents, they are sent directly to the database where all admin users may have access to them. Our application also has a push notification feature to alert admin users of workers completing safety documents with high risk ratings creating risk assessment hazards. Our key to improving your consulting, co-operating and communication lies in using technology to share data on work safety.
