Introduction
Identification of risk in workplaces and set up of WHSMS reduces the risk of injury.
Establishment of the system assist an organization to address key duties as enumerated in the
Work Health and Safety Act 2011(WHS Act). Through the assessment of workplace risks,
accountabilities, procedures and policies are set in place to limit the impact of the risks. A
WHSMS is taken as a continuously evolving system which uses given feedbacks and
messages in order to manage and improve the safety related outcomes. It helps to promote
and build safety processes, integration of safety management systems, providing more
informed decision, corporate culture strengthening and demonstration of due diligence in
Spices of Malacca in Mawson (Battaglia, Passetti, & Frey, 2015).. In many countries,
company executives came to the conclusion that this standard is important for the company
and for its relationship with society and government, as it allows to create a safety
management system. This activity is not a one-off project or an accidental event.
Purpose and objectives of the WHSMS
Objectives should be quantified where feasible. By establishing and revising their own
objectives, the organization should take into account legislative and other requirements,
hazards and industrial risks, technological capabilities, financial, operational requirements,
obligations in spruce sphere and the views of stakeholders. Goals should be consistent with
health and safety policy statements, including the commitment to continuous improvement
(Boyle, 2015). .
 Reduce risks
 Get a competitive edge
 Act in accordance with the requirements of legislation
 Improve overall performance

WHSMS
 To facilitate the procedure of control by state bodies
 Increase the level of staff satisfaction
Procedure for Risk identification
The strategy for developing the system should be built on the following important
principles, which should be emphasized:
Step 1. Commitment of management and policy in the field of labor protection and industrial
safety.
Step 2. Planning and implementation of the policy in the field of labor protection and
industrial safety.
Step 3.Introduction, including the development of skills and the development of
methodologies necessary to implement the policy in the field of labor protection and
industrial safety (Glendon, Clarke, & McKenna, 2016). .
Step 4.Introduction, including the development of skills and the development of
methodologies necessary for the implementation of policies in the field of labor protection
and industrial safety.
Step 5. Confirmation and structural improvement of the functioning of the system of health
protection and personnel safety.
The scope of the document is much broader. The scope of the standard includes the following
issues of the organization (Haas, & Yorio, 2016).
Risk Control
The risk is always connected with what has not yet happened, but a potentially unsafe
event. Risk (in this context) is always associated with an exactly established (identified)

WHSMS
hazard, and a unique hazard identification is an integral initial step in the risk assessment
process (Hollnagel, 2018). .
1. Workplace safety and health (compliance with the requirements of labor legislation and
sanitary norms).
2. Preserving the health of employees in the process of labor activity (including, reduction of
the production-related total morbidity).
3. Ensuring the safety and health of "other stakeholders" (the same contractors, suppliers,
customers, visitors, etc.).
4. Ensuring industrial safety of hazardous production facilities.
5. Provision of fire safety.
6. Preservation of the organization's property.
Risk is the combination (product) of the likelihood of an adverse event and the magnitude of
the potential damage associated with it.
Risk is potential damage, and in general, possible economic losses. Even the death of
a person ultimately leads to significant economic losses for the state, society and family of
the victim.
How records and decisions and reasons for decisions should be maintained
These requirements for the assessment of the safety management system and health
protection represent the requirements for a safety and health management system in order to
enable the organization to manage its professional risks in the field of safety and health and
improve its implementation.

of actions and the results associated with them with planned activities and effects the
implementation of these measures .Their compliance to achieve the course and objectives of
the organization is observed in the system (Lundgren, & McMakin, 2018). This process of

with the organizationsl structure. In the event of a disaster or risk, the highest authority to
have command is the workplace security risk manager.
Relevant laws in WHSMS

WHSMS
There are various laws in safety management and risk management inworkplace. They
include; Clean Air Act Amendments(CAAA) and the work place risk ammendments.
Performance evaluation includes an assessment of the activities and results of management of
Workplace safety and health. Currently, this technology is planned. Its appearance will
constitute the legal basis for ensuring the development and functioning of the above-
mentioned downstream management systems (White, 2018). It will also make prerequisites
for a common understanding of management issues in life safety.
