When Does a Business Need a Safety Management System?
Regulatory Requirements: While Safety Management Systems aren’t explicitly mandated for all workplaces in Australia, legislation imposes a duty of care on businesses and Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking (PCBU) to control health and safety risks. Implementing a Safety Management System helps meet these obligations and reduce workplace hazards.
Certification and Compliance: Australian companies seeking certification or needing to demonstrate compliance with industry standards can adopt a Safety Management System. This not only assures stakeholders of regulatory compliance but also improves your chances of winning tenders—a significant advantage!
Organisational Goals: If your organisation aims to safeguard the health and safety of its workers, incorporating work, health, and safety into your operations provides a structured approach to managing risks. This helps enhance your team’s understanding of safety management and reduces the likelihood of incidents.
Risk Management: For industries with substantial safety risks, a customised Safety Management System ensures your organisation effectively identifies, understands, and controls those risks—particularly crucial for high-risk sectors.
