All businesses have hazards associated with their operations and would not be able to provide their services or products without navigating some degree of risk. It would therefore be impractical to suggest that all risks can be eliminated from a workplace, making it very much a risk and reward challenge. Notwithstanding, the main Work Health and Safety (WHS) goal of any businesses should be to prevent all incidents and injuries.
To have the best possible chance of sustaining this goal, a business needs a risk management framework that supports the philosophy of identifying and eliminating hazards, and where this is not plausible, manage associated risks to a level as low as reasonably practicable.
This InMotion discusses the importance of implementing a risk management framework to guide your business’ hazard and risk management processes.
