Across all industries and workplaces here are common factors that should be included in a safety checklist. These are vital safeguards that work not only to normalise a culture of safety but also to prevent workplace accidents.
But what exactly does a safety checklist look like?
Well for starters it is more than just a collection of safety procedures and safety slogans. A safety checklist is preventative and therefore shot not include a list of safety solutions. Instead it should outline the general responsibilities an employer has, the role of a safety officer and a safe at work test. These are simple but effective measures in a safe workplace and should not require a series of frustrating Workcover forms (something that SafeWorkPro can help with). The below safety checklist is based on that of Safe Work Australiaand although broadly applicable to any workplace, it is not a comprehensive list.
