What is WHS Fixed Fee Support?
The new Work Health and Safety legislation places general health and safety duties on organisations, officers of organisations, management and workers. These duties require the duty holder to ensure health and safety, so far as is reasonably practicable, by eliminating risks to health and safety.
For many, this creates a challenge to administer, whilst still running a profitable, cost effective and efficient organisation. This service will assist you in ensuring health and safety compliance and managing your risks.
We will work with you to identify and manage the risks to your workers, as required by regulations, codes of practice, or by application of the risk management process. Our service is based on informing you of the required actions, rather than simply what is wrong. This is then supported by assisting you in prioritising actions. At all times we are available to provide advice and guidance on issues as they may arise.
This service can be summarised as having a health and safety professional on tap, to respond to your requirements.
