Safety in the workplace is all about identifying risks, and then managing those risks to avoid accidents and incidents. Workplaces that have high safety records do not necessarily have low risks in operations, and vice versa. High risk industries tend to appreciate the risks as the penalty for failure is often serious, or fatal.
The common thread that holds workplaces that have excellent safety performance records together is a management commitment to the safety system. Without management commitment, any safety system will be doomed to failure.
The trend in workplaces is that the workers in the workplace are becoming more casual and the use of labour hire firms is increasing. The crew of workers on site this month may not be the same as next month.
