Pro Safety Clients

In these new challenging tense times it is no time to forget Occupational Health & Safety Compliance requirements. In fact the opposite. Department of labour has issued communications with the following specifications here in brief.
" The OHS read with the Hazardous Biological Agents Regulations requires the employer to provide and maintain as far as is reasonably practicable a working environment that is safe and without risks to the health of employees.
Section 8(2)(b) requires steps such as may be reasonably practicable to eliminate or mitigate any hazard or potential hazard before resorting to personal protective equipment (PPE). However, in the case of COVID–19, a combination of controls is required, although the main principle is to follow the hierarchy of controls. "
However, before the implementation of control measures, current risk assessments need to be reviewed and updated, taking into account the new hazards posed by exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace. This is in accordance with Section 8 (2) (d) of the OHS Act"
Pro Safety is working for you in a drive to get all Pro Safety Clients current with this requirement. This email including 1 thereof. This is challenging and requires current sites risk assessments to be reviewed by a certified risk assessor (Pro Safety) and risk assessments to be amended to include preventions where practical for Coronavirus prevention. All Pro Safety Clients will have this as standard in new site/branch/office documentation, and will roll out where practical amendments to existing return sites/branches/manufacturing facilities.
The next week of communication will include further prevention details as well as actions where necessary for current office/site/facilities amendment compliance. As a professional OHS management supplier of yours these are all included in our existing retainer agreement.
Any queries regarding your business compliance concerns. Please feel free to call.
