Local HSW matters – Health and Safety Representative (HSR) Discussion
Discuss your local safety matters with your teams using the guidance below. Health, Safety & Wellbeing matters relevant to the work group should be regularly on the agenda and discussed at team meetings. The HSR for the Work Group or a team leader/manager should lead a discussion about local HSW matters using some of the prompts below. • Have there been any HSW/WHS concerns prominent in the work group lately? • Have there been any incidents, injuries or hazards that have not been reported via Elumina? • Are there any incidents or hazards that have not been resolved? • Is workload manageable at the moment? • Have there been any difficult client interactions that need additional support? • Have all new staff received a health and safety induction using the People Centre checklist? • Is there any HSW training that the work group needs? • Do we currently have enough first aid officers, emergency wardens, health and safety representatives? • Are there any learnings from previous incidents or safety investigations? • Updates from last HSW committee meeting Don't let the holiday road rush lead to tragedy The end-of-year holiday season is fast approaching and many of us are keen to get 2022 over and done with. At the end of the day, we all want to get to where we’re going safely. But we mustn't get carried away - when we are rushed to finish jobs or meet with our clients before the holidays, the chances of
mistakes are higher and can lead to serious or even tragic incidents. Please slow down on the roads and stay safe. Some road safety tips: • be realistic with your journey deadline • be extra alert
• drive to the conditions • take breaks more often • stay safe!
