Systems of Work Auditing

Quality Assured

A fundamental part of the risk management cycle is to monitor the result that come from your risk management plan (system of work). At DHF our experienced personnel can undertake desk top and site based audits of your systems of work to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your system and make recommendations to further lower your level of residual risk exposure. 

Psychosocial health and safety auditing is available.

​

Our approach to psychosocial health and safety is a proactive one, with a primary focus on prevention of injuries and other types of psychological harm that may arise from psychosocial (and non-psychosocial) hazard exposure.  

 

We support our clients to develop mentally healthy workplaces through development of a strategy, facilitation of full risk assessment and implementation of appropriate control measures.  Integration of psychosocial risk management into the existing safety management system is an important element of reducing the burden of change and we aim to do this in line with our knowledge of human performance.​

Work Health Safety Act 2020

The Work Health Safety Act 2020 came into effect on 31 March 2022. The Act replaces the OSH Act 1984 that businesses, including Synergy, have been operating under for over 30 years.

 

While businesses operating under the OSH Act 1984 may have voluntarily set their own standard of achieving psychosocial safety at work based on internally driven company ethics and values, the WHS Act 2020 marks the advent of investment in whole-person safety as being a legislative requirement.

 

It is therefore even more important than ever, that businesses invest in this area of safety by educating themselves and integrating psychosocial safety and health into their existing safety management systems.

Mentally Healthy Workplace

A mentally healthy workplace is one where workers and management collaborate to protect and promote the health, safety, and wellbeing of all.

 

Developing and maintaining a mentally healthy workplace involves continually addressing health, safety and wellbeing concerns relating to the work environment. This includes the:

 

  • organisation and design of work

  • workplace culture

  • physical environment

  • facilities provided.

 

Through creating mentally healthy workplaces, organisations can make a valuable contribution to improving the mental health of their workers. We spend a lot of time at work, and it has a significant impact on our lives. Using this part of life to make a positive impact on mental health is a good idea.
