A Fire Evacuation
Plan is all I need. |
 |
I don't need a Safety System. My business is not rated as high risk. WRONG All employers are required by law to comply. The Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 clearly sets out your responsibilities. The level of risk is not a factor. Even so, the chances of an OSH inspection are remote. MAYBE But if they do, look out. The Amendment Act to the Health and Safety Act has now been passed and takes effect on the 5th May 2003. It gives OSH inspectors the power to impose instant fines for non- compliance. The levels of fines are prescribed in this Act. It could cost you $4000.00. I've never had a work related accident and I'm not likely to. MAYBE But if you do, you may face prosecution. Prevention is better than cure. A good Safety System will go a long way towards reducing your level of exposure. The five essential elements of a Safety System are: 2. An Accident Register. 3. A Hazard Register. 4. A Fire Evacuation and Disaster Management Plan. 5. Training. |
