22.01.2022 BENEFITS OF A WHS CONSULTANT? The biggest advantage of using a WHS consultant is to acquire a specialist service, without your business having to hire a full ti...me specialist or rely on untrained or unmotivated staff to direct safety initiatives in your business. A Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) consultant can be a very helpful asset to any company. WHS consultants improve the overall health and safety of the organisation from top to bottom. With the increasing diversity and competition among industries, companies need to use every single edge they can find. One of the ways to do it is to improve health and safety practices in the workplace. This article will show you why there’s a need for the assistance of a WHS consultant in your business. WHAT IS A WHS CONSULTANT? WHS consultants are professionals that are specially trained on the matter of health and safety in the workplace. With their experience and expertise, they can provide expert advice on how companies can improve the overall health and safety in the workplace. Here is a short list of some of the abilities and responsibilities of a WHS consultant. ENSURE MANAGEMENT AWARE OF HEALTH AND SAFETY STANDARDS Most leaders and key personnel in companies are either unaware of workplace health and safety regulations or they are too busy with their respective roles that they end up overlooking them. One of the important roles of WHS consultants is to educate those in the workplace of all relevant laws regarding health and safety. This is especially so with its leaders, as they are the ones who can create policies that can potentially benefit everyone. With education and better awareness, positive change can happen and workplace accidents can be prevented. PERFORM AN INSPECTION AT YOUR WORKPLACES TO IDENTIFY HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES Another important role of WHS consultants is to identify possible health and safety issues in the workplace. This involves a thorough inspection of workplaces to identify potential safety issues. Even a facility that looks perfectly safe to the untrained eye may hide issues that can cause injury or illness. From lack of awareness of emergency exits to floorings that are too slippery, a WHS consultant can pinpoint deficiencies in facilities, equipment, and information in hopes of getting them resolved. PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO SOLVE HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES Beyond identifyin problems, a WHS consultant also provides solutions on how these health and safety issues can be potentially resolved. They are specially trained in providing solutions in improving health and safety, not just in workplaces, but also in other facilities. Solutions they can provide can be as simple as improving access and availability of safety exits to reconstructing potentially hazardous spots in working areas. A WHS consultant can lay out a plan for improving the overall safety profile of a workplace. THE BENEFITS OF HIRING A WHS CONSULTANT A lot of people do not see the importance of workplace health and safety until something unfortunate happens. The effect of such incidents cannot be minimised; there are companies that sustained massive losses because they overlooked health and safety protocols. Here is a simplified list of some of the benefits of hiring a WHS consultant: CREATES A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT The primary reason to engage a WHS consultant to begin with is to improve the overall safety profile of workplaces everywhere. Working with a health and safety consultant helps create working environments that are safe. Regardless of what industry you are in, putting emphasis on safety will benefit everyone. With a healthy and safe working environment, workplace accidents become less common and attendance rates among employees become higher. IMPROVES EMPLOYEE MORALE, CULTURE AND CLIENT CONFIDENCE One of the many ways to improve morale and the work culture in any busienss is to provide facilities where they can work comfortably and with confidence. You are able to get the best out of your employees when they feel safe in their working environment. It is also a way to build trust with your employees. As for your clients, they will feel safe to transact with you if they know all relevant safety standards are being met by your company. Also, it’s one way to show them that your company is willing to go the extra mile to provide the best service. IMPROVES WORKPLACE EFFICIENCY There are many ways to maximise the potential of your company. A means of doing this is to provide the best working facilities possible. With the help of a consultant, you can improve the overall safety profile of your workplace. This can in turn enhance the overall efficiency and well-being of your workers, which increases productivity and reduces missed days due to injury or illness. Also, it reduces the risk of accidents and minimises possible damages to life should they happen. Lastly, it teaches everyone in the company about healthy and safe practices in the workplace, reducing the risk of potential casualties. PREVENTS POTENTIAL ISSUES DUE TO HEALTH AND SAFETY PROBLEMS Health and safety issues can be very time consuming and expensive.. It can cause significant financial damage to small- and medium-sized companies, and it can cause a backlash to larger ones. Either way, the damage such incidents may cause could weaken or even destroy companies. To prevent such issues, it’s best to be proactive and invest on proper health and safety guidelines. This is where a WHS consultant can help. IMPROVES COMPANY PROFILE There are also some intangible benefits of improving health and safety practices with the help of a WHS consultant. Investing in safety can have a positive impact on your business’s image, both inside and outside the company. On the inside, it’s one way to show that you are serious about providing the best working environment for your team. On the outside, people will see that you are serious about delivering the best service possible. Hiring a WHS consultant can benefit your business beyond boosting workplace health and safety. IT IS THE ETHICAL THING TO DO Business ethics will tell you that you need to take care of members of your company like they are your family. Also, these same ethics will tell you that you need to take good care of your customers. It will also help spare you from potential legal issues as you did due diligence.

13.01.2022 With the new financial year and the news of Lush Cosmetics at the front of our minds it is timely to ensure that your HR and payroll processes are robust and current. As in the Lush case, they relied upon an outdated payroll system to ensure that they paid their employees correctly and as per the award, sadly times change and so do awards and this didn’t flow through to their payroll system. It is important to ensure a review of your remuneration and the way your employees a...re paid is undertaken regularly, the new financial year is a perfect opportunity to get this underway. As a HR specialist I have extensive experience in both HR and payroll and am more than willing to assist you with a review of your current remuneration structures, employment contracts and an audit of how this is flowing through your payroll processes.

One worker was operating a mechanical pruner attached to the front of a tractor to prune the bottom branches from macadamia trees. Another worker was operating a quad bike nearby. The quad bike and its operator contacted the pruner resu...lting in a partial arm amputation. Investigations are continuing Preventing a similar incident Quad bikes have become very popular farm vehicles in recent years. Safe operation of quad bikes is essential in all situations, or they can be very dangerous. On steep terrain or when driven at low or high speed, quad bikes can be very unstable due to their light weight and high centre of gravity. This is made worse by a tendency to overload them and fit inappropriate attachments. PCBUs must ensure: a quad bike is the right tool for the task a helmet and other personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection is supplied never let children under 16 ride adult-sized quad bikes proper instruction and training is provided and understood by the rider. The quad bike’s fitness for purpose should be assessed prior to its use. Consider whether: there is another item of farm machinery that could provide a safer operation, i.e. a side-by-side vehicle, small tractor or utility fitting equipment (such as crush protection devices) that will minimise the risk of injury from possible rollover the quad bike is maintained to manufacturer's specifications, including equipment such as brakes are working and tyres are inflated to the correct pressure all guards are in place, particularly foot plates all controls are adjusted so they can be operated comfortably and safely when seated. Quad bike operators should: always wear a helmet and other personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection be trained or have sufficient experience before operating a quad bike, particularly when riding on steep slopes, at speed or with attachments never allow passengers on the quad bike unless it has been specifically designed to carry two people have sufficient strength, weight and agility to operate safely and to react quickly to changing terrain or conditions be aware of heat stress, fatigue or other limiting conditions which may affect concentration while operating a quad bike.
