Establish and Maintain Participative Arrangements for the Management of OHS
Occupational safety and health (OHS) is a multi-disciplinary field concerned with health,
welfare and safety of the staff members in the workplace. The goals of this health and safety
program include fostering a safe and healthy work environment within the organization.
Therefore, in order to maintain and establish participative arrangements for the management of
OHS, the management must set apart the OHS Procedures, perform acceptance testing, and
compare against specification.
OHS Procedures
In the any industry, OHS Procedures are a major part of protecting the welfare, health
and safety of the people in employment. All staff and contractors have a duty of care to ensure
that they comply with the safety and health measures set in place. These procedures include;
1. Identifying and assessing the probable safety risks within the organization. This includes
identifying, assessing and reporting them to the designated personnel. Afterward, safe
work practices, safe work instructions, and duty of care requirements are established and
followed in order to control the risks (Occupational Health, n.d.).
2. Also hazardous materials within the work environment are correctly identified and
handled according to the company’s legislations. Measures for controlling theses risks are
also established and communicated to the rest of the staff members (OHS Policies, n.d.).
3. What follows is the planning and preparation of safe work practices. This includes
identifying the correct personal protective equipment and clothing, selection of the right
materials and equipment, among others.
