WHS Policies & Procedures

Every workplace has hazards and risks. A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm to a person. A risk is the likelihood that harm will occur.It is an employer’s duty under workplace health and safety (WHS) legislation to keep workers healthy and safe as far as reasonably practicable, and to minimise, if not eliminate, the hazards and any risks of harm. The work environment and culture can play an important part in keeping your workers safe and it is important to document processes in policies and procedures as part of managing any health and safety risks.
