REVIEW AND REVISE SWMS

DEVELOP SWMS

Your MSS consultant can develop SWMS your organisation may require. SWMS provided will comply with 2017 Victorian OHS Regulations and contain guidance for site use. Your organisation must have SWMS for all tasks/activities that have associated risks.

WORKSAFE NOTICE GUIDANCE

Your MSS consultant can assist with reviewing and complying with WorkSafe notices. The notice will be reviewed and your organisation will be provided with a clear and concise plan in order to meet your compliance obligation within the WorkSafe allocated timeframe to avoid prosecution and fines where possible.

INCIDENT/ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS

All incidents/accidents should be investigated, primarily to identify all causation factors and implement control measures to prevent a reoccurrence. Other reasons for investigating include insurance claims, workers compensation payments, reputation of the organisation, litigation, requirements under contract terms.

MSS consultants are experienced in incident/accident investigation, they provide clear guidelines on key elements of the investigation process including evidence gathering, communication process and analysis techniques. Having involvement in the investigation from the start will enable MSS to carry out the investigation efficiently, evidence and our recall of events diminish over time, so it’s important that an investigation is undertaken promptly.

Although the process of incident/accident investigation is reactive, by implementing practical corrective measures, it is also one way we can contribute to achieving a safer workplace and hopefully prevent injuries and fatalities at work.
