WORKPLACE HEALTH STRATEGIC PLAN 2008-2012
The Office focussed on the following broad areas:
1. LEADERSHIP:
The Office continued to ensure that its focus was on preventative measures during the year, offering staff:
- Respect, Equity and Diversity (RED) training;
- training to deal with difficult and aggressive clients;
- the opportunity to participate in flu vaccinations; and
- first aid training.
2. INJURY PREVENTION:
The Office works proactively to prevent injuries by utilising the Office Working Environment Group (the role and functions of which are discussed elsewhere in this report) as a forum to assess injury data and develop injury prevention programs for implementation and monitoring within the Office.
3. INJURY MANAGEMENT:
The Office’s OH&S responsibilities are encapsulated in the Work Health and Safety Act 2011. The Office OH&S policy, which reflects the principles of this legislation, outlines our commitment to the provision of a healthy and safe workplace. Because of the nature of work in the Office, staff are encouraged to avail themselves of counselling services whenever necessary. The Office had one elected Work Safety Representative for the entire year.
No reports or notices were given under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 and no directions were issued during the reporting period.
