Good workplace safety decisions begin with clear information—but every organisation still needs to apply that guidance to its own people, activities and risks.
Allocating responsibility
Legal and organisational appointments help define who is responsible for particular occupational health and safety functions within a workplace.
The correct roles vary
The appointments relevant to your organisation depend on the work, structure, hazards and applicable regulations. Creating every appointment found in a template is not a reliable approach.
Competence and authority
Appointed people should understand their duties and have the competence, authority, information and resources required to carry them out.
Keep the system current
Appointments should be reviewed when people, roles or operations change. Supporting training and records should be controlled alongside the appointment documents.
