In an effort to minimise risk factors in the Public Works sector, Pro-Visual Publishing is urging industry workers to take the necessary precautions with the new National Guide to Public Works & Services Safety 2011.
According to the Guide, staying vigilant with regards to risk management, hazard perception and traffic control are vital to effective daily operations.
Similarly, hazards that can present a high risk of injury or illness need to be prioritised for action to eliminate, control, or reduce the risk. Legislation requires all employers to approach their OHS risks in a systematic manner based on recognised principles. This year’s Guide looks at the common dangers and simple steps that should be taken to avoid unnecessary risk or injury, thus ensuring a safe working environment.
