The Health and Safety (H&S) Manual details our commitment and the practical steps we have taken to prevent harm to all of our employees, contractors, visitors or any other person. This Manual is aimed at providing the ‘need-to-know’ information for the majority of employees.

If employees and management require further clarification to supplement and inform actions and decisions, then reference should be made to these other components of the H&S System. Furthermore, the H&S System can be used as a source of training for any employee wanting to further their knowledge in H&S management.

Reporting and Investigation
We expect mistakes will be made, and view mistakes as our way to learn and improve and become a more profitable company. We are so committed to this principal that we will reward individuals that demonstrate a personal commitment to reporting any incident.
However, any intentionally neglect e.g. not using hazard controls, or criminal activity will result in disciplinary action. We are separating mistakes from intentional actions and disregard for safety standards and expect the highest safety standards from all employees and contractors.
Process
Once an incident occurs some kind of emergency response may be required. This may be anything from a complete shut-down and evacuation to using the first aid kit – or nothing at all. Once the situation is safe and people have been treated, then it is important to report the incident to the health and safety representative (H&S rep). We expect all accidents and incidents to be reported to the H&S rep. These include near misses, or things that occur which make you think ‘that was lucky’. This can be done verbally or in writing – by just jotting a few details on a piece of paper or even better, using the reporting form in this chapter.
The H&S rep will then document the incident and investigate using the form in Appendix A. If the injury is a Serious Harm, then the H&S rep will inform management immediately. The H&S rep will then inform the Department of Labour both verbally and in writing using the required form[1]. This process is detailed in the following ‘Reporting and Investigation Flowchart’.
The key to learning comes down to a thorough investigation of each incident. The only reason to investigate is to determine action steps we can put in place to prevent future occurrences. These recommendations will often come from the person on the ‘shop floor’ – you. Please speak up if during the investigation or at any other time. There are no dumb questions or ideas in our business.
