Health and Safety Policies and Procedures

We recognise that every company is different in size, location, dynamics and industry focus

We work with you and your team to ensure your health and safety policies and procedures are ‘real’ and manageable, and that what is written on paper is a true reflection of your company’s values and direction.

We help you develop comprehensive health and safety documents that communicate the importance of a proactive focus and an emphasis on safety in your organisation; and we will work with you ensure this is translated into effective action.

Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems

Beaspoke Safety can provide your organisation with a tailored Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS) that is effective and practical on all levels.

A typical OHSMS will cover over 25 different areas of polices and procedures within your business from OHS objectives & plans, to structure and responsibility, legal and other requirements, risk management, emergency preparedness and response and OH&S audits and review.

Our safety management systems also cover a variety of areas you may not have even considered including:

Health surveillance
Manual handling
Electrical hazards
Chemicals
Plant & equipment
Noise
Working at heights, and
Personal protective equipment

NB. This list is not exhaustive

Gap Analysis of existing OHS Policies and Procedures

Our gap analysis will quickly identify any areas for improvement, or those areas which need to be included, in your current OHS systems

Whether you already have existing policies and procedures in place and would like a second opinion, or need to update to current legislation, we are able to assist you and your team through our Gap Analysis process.

We review, investigate and assess your company based on:

Policies / Procedures
Work instructions, training records
Consultation evidence
Observations of site
Photographic evidence of hazards
Consultation with staff

We will then provide you with a written and photographic report (where applicable) and subsequent guidance of those aspects that need to be addressed immediately and through gradual implementation.

Hazard identification and prevention advice

Beaspoke Safety will assist you in identifying and preventing hazards

As Event Professionals we take great pains to ensure our operations are compliant when onsite, but are we as compliant with our places of work, offices & warehouses? The high demand to deliver services onsite sometimes means extra OHS control systems need to be developed to cope with the impact at your base of operations. Beaspoke Safety offers safety audits for your base of operations and delivers policy & procedural solutions tailored to satisfy your changing needs.

Beaspoke Safety will assist you to take the necessary actions and for what may otherwise be extremely costly issues further down the track.

Risk Assessments and Risk Management planning

Beaspoke Safety has extensive knowledge of the requirements of Occupational Health and Safety legislation throughout Australia

Having relevant risk management plans that are completed by ‘competent’ people, with effective and attainable control measures is just one part of the process to ensure the safety of the public, contractors and staff.

Beaspoke Safety has extensive knowledge of the requirements of Occupational Health and Safety legislation throughout Australia. We recognise that those involved in events often need common sense advice to protect them from the possibilities of litigation.

The documentation that we develop with you will be logical and methodical, so you can understand the procedures and take ownership of them.

To assist your risk management planning we offer the following additional services:

Management system for identifying hazards and significant risks
Up to date information for Risk Assessments in accordance with new legislation
Interpretation of third party assessments & the subsequent control measures
Risk Assessment templates where a competent person is able to complete the documentation
Safe Systems of Work and Permits to Work
Risk Assessments for emergency situations such as evacuations

This list of services is not exclusive and can be tailored to meet your specific needs.

Contractor Management Systems

Developing a Contractor Management System

It is vital to engage fully with your contractors to ensure that health and safety is properly managed. Beaspoke Safety can develop a contractor management system that ensures you able to track and identify what documentation is outstanding and allow you to identify who is proficient in safety and an excellent alliance with you.

In addition, given the risks associated with events, it makes good business sense to maintain and operate under appropriate systems to minimise the risk of breaching legislative, community and commercial obligations.

Safe Work Method Statements

A site-specific Safe Work Method Statement must be prepared before any high-risk work is commenced

We will work with you and your team to identify the ‘high risk’ work and develop the appropriate statement in conjunction with those involved in the high risk work.

NB. A Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is similar to a Job Safety Analysis (JSA), which has been widely used in Victoria. You may continue to use existing JSA formats providing you contain all the information required of an SWMS.
