Health and safety legislation demands that employers make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the following:

• Health and safety risks employees are exposed to whilst at work
• Risks to the health and safety of persons not in their employment
• All assessments must be communicated to relevant persons and documented if there are five or more employees in the company.

• Workplace inspections should be conducted regularly by competent persons to ensure compliance with company standards and procedures and to determine the degree of implementation of control measures.

  AOSS can conduct workplace health and safety inspections in workplaces and on client work sites, as follows:

  • Inspection visits on a frequency to suit client requirements
  • Documented reports detailing identified breaches in legislation and associated recommendations for improvement
  • Advice on safe methods of work and safe working practices
  • Liaison with management on health and safety issues raised
  • Periodic management review meetings to discuss inspection findings and reports
  • Ongoing advice and guidance about the sites visited
  • Inspection checklists and reports can be concise or detailed, depending on

Traditional safety management focuses on a Safe Workplace, Safe People, and Safe Equipment. However, even when companies have processes to deliver these systems, accidents still happen; the question is why?

AOSS’ behavioural-based programs are designed to answer these questions and improve safety performance. The programs we devise are employee-led, supported by management, and explicitly designed to the aspirations and needs of your company.

Programs can be customised based on requirements and may include:

• A survey of the current safety climate
• Audit of the health and safety management system
• Review of incident and accident data, including near misses
• Identification of at-risk behaviours
• Implementation of unsafe condition reporting
• Workplace observations
• Focus group discussions – management relations
• Behavioural-based training and coaching
