Introduction
Work-related safety, as well as health measures or initiatives, can help control workplace risk in the risk management process. In this guide, measures are defined as management interventions, such as workplace policies, procedures, reviews, inspections, and specific health assessments that help control risk. Initiatives are actions or interventions in the workplace that are designed to actively reduce the risk of injury or disease, such as employee/staff support moreover assistance program, general well-being promotion measures moreover programs, general health monitoring or monitoring, fitness programs, and health Events and health products or health services.
Health and safety initiatives
Access sources of information and data on worker health and wellbeing measures and initiatives and communicate findings to individuals and parties
In determining WHS measures or initiatives, it’s first to need to obtain understandings by accessing data and information on work health or safety measures as well as initiatives to help determine the boundaries and visions associated with the measures or initiatives (Angner, 2011).
Obtain background information
Through a basic understanding of the above knowledge areas, we can obtain background information on the hazards. In terms of matter, we need to know what it is and how it causes harm. Most of the information we need can be obtained from a safety data sheet (SDS), which must be readily available at the workplace. In addition to important information on first aid and other urgent procedures, the safety data sheet will provide information on various names and toxicological information that may be known about the substance (Bockerman, Bryson and Ilmakunnas, 2011).
Access health information: Internet may be an expensive source of well-being data that may help you to understand well-being problems. Health Insight’s Health and Welfare Area provides links to topics pages that affect health issues such as fitness, nutrition, mental health, and medicine, as well as health-related issues such as health insurance, health systems, legal issues, and biotechnology. Not all well-being data on Internet has undergone a rigorous quality assessment process. The following list of questions can help you determine if the quality of the data you find on the Internet is very fine (Bryson et al., 2016).
Health monitoring processes are required by legislation for the workplace
Health monitoring process includes:
A. Consult a registered docto
B. Physical examination, such as skin examination and lung functions (spirometry) tests
C. Clinical examinations such as urine and blood tests
D. X-ray.
Well-being monitoring does not replace the use of effective controls to eliminate or minimize health risks (Fo
es, 2017).
Need for additional monitoring been established through hazard identification
1. Any suggestion of test results indicates that a staff member may be infected with a disease or disorder, injury and illness as the result of performing work (Article 376).
2. It is recommended that PCBU takes remedial measure, also including whether workers may continue to the work (regulation 376).
3. For lead risk work, instruct workers to exceed the person's test results for related blood lead levels (regulation 415) (Joss et al., 2017).
The "WHS Regulations 2011" requires that the company and commitment person (PCBU) monitor well-being status of the employees engaged in the certain type of work (including hazardous chemical, asbestos, and lead). Copy of monitoring health report should be provided to the workplace.
Strategies could be used to ensure consultation with individuals and parties to assist with identifying and evaluating factors impacting on worker health and wellbeing
In order to fully identify and evaluate WHS measures or initiatives, it’s necessary to consult people who are exposed to workplace hazards and workplace controls. The consultation ensures that accurate and comprehensive information and data on hazards are obtained, as those affected are best able to describe in detail the...
